Doha, Qatar: The third edition of Visit Qatar’s Qatar Toy Festival concluded on August 4, 2025, after 30 days of excitement, creativity, and family fun at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center.
Attracting over 130,000 visitors, the event surpassed attendance records from previous editions by 12% and reinforced its position as one of the region’s most anticipated summer experiences for children of various ages and families.
The festival wrapped up with a vibrant closing ceremony featuring a recap video, an energetic dance show by Crew Q, a performance by the popular Adnan Family, and the much-awaited announcement of the Jetour competition winner. A spectacular drone show lit up the West Bay, followed by a celebratory cake cutting, appearances from QTF mascots, balloon drop, and giveaways that left attendees with lasting memories.
Commenting on the festival’s success, Hamad Al-Khaja, Manager of Festivals & Events Delivery at Visit Qatar, said: "The remarkable success of this year’s Qatar Toy Festival is a testament to the impact of Visit Qatar’s family-friendly events calendar. From the introduction of the QTF Summer Camp and Back to School activations to the unforgettable performances and immersive zones, this edition created joyful moments for both families and children across the country. We look forward to seeing everyone for a bigger QTF next year.”
This year’s edition introduced several new experiences, including the QTF Summer Camp which was a structured morning programme tailored to children aged 4 to 12 that offered hands-on learning, creative workshops, and fitness sessions. The festival also introduced the Back-to-School programme during its final week with themed shows, competitions, and retail offerings to prepare families for the academic year.
