Building on strong regional momentum, with GCC visitors contributing significantly to the festival's growing success and appeal

Qatar Calendar has announced the return of the Qatar Toy Festival (QTF) in 2026 under the slogan 'More to Imagine, A Whole World of Fun'. The festival will take place at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC) from 1 to 31 July, spanning more than 22,000 sqm across four halls. This year's edition marks the largest and most immersive iteration of the festival to date.

As part of Visit Qatar's 'Hala Summer' campaign, QTF 2026 evolves into a fully integrated entertainment experience, bringing together global brands, live performances, retail offerings, and interactive activations, in collaboration with Spacetoon.

Following the success of the previous edition, which welcomed over 130,000 visitors, the festival continues to see strong attendance from across the GCC, reinforcing its position as a leading regional family entertainment destination. This year, Visit Qatar extends a warm invitation to families and visitors from across the GCC to experience a summer filled with immersive entertainment, exclusive experiences, and world-class attractions in the State of Qatar.

The festival will feature expanded themed zones catering to pre-school children, teenagers, young adults, and collectors. A new immersive stage hall will host concerts, shows, competitions, and live performances. A dedicated Influencers Zone will further enhance the experience, providing a platform for content creation and digital engagement, while exclusive merchandise and collectibles will be available throughout the event.

The Qatar Toy Festival forms part of Visit Qatar's ongoing efforts to deliver a dynamic, year-round calendar of experiences for residents and visitors alike, while reinforcing Qatar's position as a leading destination for family-focused entertainment and large-scale events.

Qatar offers a seamless summer getaway combining culture, entertainment and relaxation. During the summer season, GCC visitors can take advantage of exclusive summer offers spanning dining, wellness, leisure, accommodation and shopping.
