The much-anticipated MIA Bazaar returns to picturesque MIA Park this Friday as the cooler months descend upon Qatar. The annual community bazaar, held at the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA), holds a special place in Qatar's calendar and will be held every Friday and Saturday from October 20, 2023 to March 2024.

The MIA Bazaar is a vibrant gathering that unites both residents and tourists in celebration of Qatar's rich heritage and cultural diversity. This event serves as a thriving platform for local artists to showcase their talents and for artisans and entrepreneurs to exhibit their craftsmanship. The MIA Park offers a wide range of handmade goods, jewelry, textiles, traditional items, as well as food trucks and kiosks, along with local and international cuisine and delectable desserts.

With the onset of winter, the scenic MIA park with its spectacular views of Doha's Corniche and West Bay is the perfect place to enjoy an afternoon picnic or an evening stroll.

Dr. Julia Gonella, MIA Director, said, "We are thrilled to welcome the community back to MIA Bazaar." As a celebration of Qatar's diversity and creativity, this event serves as a platform for people of all backgrounds to come together, enjoy the weather, and discover new things.

Open Fridays from 2pm to 10pm and Saturdays from 10am to 8pm, the MIA Bazaar is a family-friendly event with free admission.
