Qatar Tourism, in partnership with Spacetoon, is gearing up to host the ‘Qatar Toy Festival’ – a national first that is also set to be the largest event of its kind in the region.

Held at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC) from 13 July – 5 August 2023, and themed ‘Live the Tales and Enjoy the Games,’ the festival will see more than 25 of the world’s biggest toy brands including Barbie, Blippi, Bluey, Cocomelon, Disney, HapeeCapee, Marvel, Fortnite and Transformers brought to life as part of Qatar Tourism’s lively and varied ‘Feel Summer in Qatar’ campaign.

Over the 25-day event, kids and families will have the chance to meet some of their favourite characters, participate in interactive-themed areas such as a Barbie Dreamhouse and a life-sized Monopoly board, as well as purchase some of the latest toys from world-leading brands.
