Doha: Doha
Festival City is set to mark Eid Al-Adha with a programme of cultural
experiences, family entertainment, and community initiatives inspired by the
spirit of tradition, generosity, and togetherness.
As
part of Festival Cares, Al-Futtaim Real Estate's wider social responsibility
platform, Doha Festival City will host a series of CSR and community-focused
activations from May 15 to May 23, including the "Branches of
Kindness" initiative in collaboration with Qatar Charity, inviting
visitors to support charitable causes through donations and messages of
kindness displayed on a symbolic installation at Centre Court. Visitors can
also take part in "Your Sacrifice, Their Eid" with Qatar Red Crescent
Society, an interactive humanitarian activation encouraging donations to
support families in need during Eid Al-Adha.
The
Eid Al-Adha celebrations, taking place from May 20 to June 2 in the
Entertainment Area near the South Food Court, will feature daily
family-oriented activities including Arabic calligraphy, storytelling and
poetry performances, henna art, face painting, colouring activities, and
traditional games. Visitors can also enjoy roaming cosplay parades, Arabic
coffee hospitality, live Oud performances during Eid days, falcon photography
experiences, wonder and bubble shows on weekends, and piano performances in the
luxury area. The celebrations will also include three craftsmanship workshops
focused on mud pottery, Sadu weaving for children, and Qatari Bisht sewing, led
by master artisans.
Tugrul Comert, Director of Asset Management at Doha Festival City, said: "Eid Al-Adha is an important occasion centred around family, tradition, and generosity, and at Doha Festival City, we remain committed to creating experiences that reflect these values in meaningful and engaging ways."
