Around 50 cultural and recreational events, along with theatrical and dramatic arts, are on offer as the Cultural Village Foundation (Katara) launched its Eid Al Fitr celebrations in style on Wednesday night.

While children received gifts and enjoyed captivating festivities at the Katara Corniche, families and visitors watched the Qatari Ardha dance, which drew a huge turnout.

The event featured patrimonial shows and popular songs in which Arab swords were used alongside drums and tambourines. The dance was impressively performed and portrayed the inveterate Qatari legacy and patrimony.

The visitors also enjoyed shows performed by Moroccan, Egyptian, Palestinian, and Syrian bands, and paintings inspired by Arab heritage and civilizations were presented.

The public greatly admired the police band’s musical performances. The band played a variety of musical instruments, deriving its tunes from contemporary art combined with authentic Qatari legacy.

The public also watched an exceptional and buoyant show of Al Nahma lyrical art, performed by musician Hamid Al Naama at Al Hikma Square in Katara. Qatari patrimonial art highlighted the richness of the song legacy, which abounded with innovative maritime arts and traditions.

Also, the theatrical play Land of Life drew a huge crowd at Katara Corniche, inspiring discussions of agriculture, environment conservation, and self-dependence.

Additionally, art workshops drew large crowds of children and parents, varying between art, handcraft, and interactive events, such as workshops on flowers, Eid ornamental activities, coloring, and balloon shaping workshops for children and others.

Art shows at Katara, which will run throughout the Eid Al Fitr holidays, will allow the public to enjoy a wide range of art and innovative experiences.
