Entertainment programmes at malls, parks and  the cultural village of Katara continued to attract big crowds as Eid al-Fitr celebrations went on across Doha yesterday.
Katara ushered in the grand finale of its Eid celebrations with the third spectacular evening show featuring fireworks, laser lights and dancing fountains.
Using the latest technology in pyrotechnics, computer graphics and simulation, the fireworks, laser light and dancing water shows were choreographed and synchronised to music to provide a memorable experience for the viewers.
The Rumailah Park and Heritage Village saw a number of visitors of all ages and nationalities. “It is good that the three days of Eid al-Fitr are followed by a weekend this year giving more time to relax,” a visitor said.
Villaggio’s Gondolania Theme Park and Landmark Mall’s Circus Land continued to host their ‘Eid Extravaganza’ event.

The shows at both Villaggio and Landmark conclude today, with timings being 8pm to 9.30pm, and 5pm to 6.30pm, respectively.
Royal Plaza hosted activities for children on the second and third days of Eid al-Fitr, featuring face painting, balloon giveaways, fun-themed balloon shaping, magic show, and cartoon characters.
