Qatar National Library (QNL) joined in Qatar Foundation’s (QF’s) annual Garangao activities at Al Shaqab where it celebrated and interacted with the local community. QNL produced a popular puppet show and storytelling session on the Arabic book “Fisherman’s Tale.” More than 5,000 members of the local community took part in the festivities on Friday.
During the fun-filled evening that celebrated youth and the richness of Qatari culture, families enjoyed a wide range of community activities including traditional Arabic games for children, arts and crafts and pony rides, as well as the chance to try popular Qatari dishes. The event embodied Garangao’s rich cultural roots and Qatari traditions.
Garangao is an annual festival that traditionally takes place midway through Ramadan. As part of the celebrations, children are also given sweets, gifts and the chance to participate in team games and other much-loved pastimes.
