Summer Festival activities at Doha Festival City
Doha: Doha Festival City recently concluded its Summer Festival 2022 featuring a stunning showcase of exclusive international entertainment performances and engaging activities for both adults and children.
The month-long festival which ran from June 16 to July 16 and continued through the Eid Al Adha holiday, was announced a stellar success, attracting a wide array of audiences and multiple rave reviews, making Doha Festival City one of the most attractive destinations this summer, as well as bringing more entertainment offering to the community.
Commenting on the festival’s conclusion, Robert Hall, Festival City’s General Manager, said: “We would like to thank everyone who visited and participated in our spectacular Summer Festival. We carefully selected unique international shows and activities to spread joy during summer and Eid Al Adha. This is only the beginning of what we have lined up for the upcoming mega football event, and we are looking forward to welcoming visitors and shoppers soon with more celebrations and events at their favourite mall in Qatar.”
The great lineup of international shows was an excellent platform to build up the football hype for the international tournament, especially with the array of football-centric activities and shows, including a football freestyler who wowed the crowds with his football juggling skills and tricks. Football fans enjoyed several exciting activities including foosball and virtual reality games. They also had the chance to sign up as volunteers for the upcoming tournament.
The Summer Festival featured a wide array of entertainment shows and activities for children and adults alike including digital illusionist show, bubble show, and juggling stunts such as the Kitchen Dancers, a team of performers wearing chef uniforms who specialise in juggling and stunts using kitchen tools and utensils.
In addition, the festival dedicated a children’s entertainment corner at the Entertainment Node, where children enjoyed several activities such as arts and crafts, face painting, balloon twisting. Children also had the chance to meet and greet their favourite cartoon characters.
Throughout the Eid Al Adha holidays, mall visitors also enjoyed a host of parades by stilt walkers who made rounds performing throughout the mall to the delight of children and adults alike.
In line with the preventative measures set out by the State of Qatar to limit the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), and to ensure a safe shopping environment for all, Doha Festival City commits itself to continuous necessary health and safety measures throughout the mall. This includes a thorough mall disinfection treatment on a weekly basis, robust cleaning, and sanitisation operations during mall trading hours, 127 hand sanitising stations installed in the areas that have commonly touched surfaces.
