Al Meera to host 6th Local Date Festival until August 11

Doha: Al Meera will host the ongoing annual 6th Local Date Festival until August 11, 2021. This year, Al Meera’s organisation of the event builds on its success in hosting the 2020 Festival — and forms part of its ongoing effort to support local products, farms, and Qatari producers.

This year’s festival will be celebrated at many of Al Meera’s branches, including the recently opened Jeryan stores. The locally produced Rutab will be available to customers and a range of promotional offers on various types of local dates. The 10 participating farms aim to sell 27 tonnes of dates. Commenting on the launch, Al Meera said: “We are very proud to host the annual Local Date Festival for the second year in a row at Al Meera branches, following the success of last year’s event.
