Qatar Toy Festival 2026 Returns with Its Biggest Edition Yet

Qatar Calendar has officially announced the return of the Qatar Toy Festival (QTF) in 2026, promising its largest and most immersive edition to date. Held under the slogan More to Imagine, A Whole World of Fun, the month-long event will run from July 1 to 31 at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC).

Spanning over 22,000 square metres across four halls, this year’s festival significantly expands its scale and offerings, reinforcing its status as one of the region’s premier family entertainment events.

Organised as part of Visit Qatar’s ‘Hala Summer’ campaign, QTF 2026 transforms into a fully integrated entertainment experience. The event will feature a dynamic mix of global brands, live shows, retail experiences, and interactive attractions, delivered in collaboration with Spacetoon.

The festival builds on the success of its previous edition, which drew more than 130,000 visitors, with strong participation from across the GCC. Organisers say the continued regional turnout highlights the festival’s growing appeal as a key summer destination for families.

This year’s edition introduces expanded themed zones designed to cater to all age groups—from pre-school children to teenagers, young adults, and collectors. A newly introduced immersive stage hall will host concerts, competitions, and live performances throughout the festival.

Adding to the experience, a dedicated Influencers Zone will provide a space for content creators and digital engagement, while visitors can explore a wide range of exclusive merchandise and collectible items available across the venue.

The Qatar Toy Festival is part of broader efforts by Visit Qatar to deliver a vibrant, year-round calendar of events that appeal to both residents and international visitors, further positioning Qatar as a leading destination for large-scale entertainment and family tourism.

With a mix of culture, entertainment, and leisure, Qatar continues to attract GCC visitors during the summer season, offering special deals across hospitality, dining, wellness, and retail.

Further details on upcoming events and summer offerings are available through Visit Qatar’s official platforms, including its website and mobile app, as well as the Qatar Calendar social media channels.
