Under the theme “Color Your Summer”, the 2017 Qatar Summer Festival will be the biggest and longest edition of the annual event ever held.
The festival will start on June 22 and continue until September 5, longer than twice its usual duration.
What makes this year’s festival even more special is that both Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha celebrations will be inclusive.
“The incidence of both Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha during the summer months this year created the perfect opportunity for us to merge the Eid Celebrations in Qatar and Qatar Summer Festival into a continuous, two-month long festival,” Director Shahbik told attendees.
