This season, Qatar Tourism is all set to take this year’s Eid celebrations up a notch with a spectacular balloon parade in Doha to happen from the 3rd to the 5th of May 2022.
The festive balloon parade will create a spectacle to remember where large balloons will be accompanied by a marching band. Besides that, the festivities will include roaming entertainment, food and beverage, activities, and a balloon showcase. The event being the first of its kind to be held by Qatar Tourism aims to turn into an annual event, if successful.
Giant balloon parade & live entertainment
A high-energy entertainment featuring giant balloon parades and live entertainment for everyone in the family (from enthused children to nostalgic adults). The parade will be populated by giant classic cartoon character balloons alongside symbols of Qatar’s ecology and cultural diversity (think bulging whale sharks and beautiful traditional dhow boats). There will be plenty more surprises in store, and everyone’s assured of an unimpeded view.
