QIFF - Qatar international food festival 2026

The 2026 Qatar International Food Festival opening ceremony continues LEAP’s collaboration with QIFF for the third time. Set against the backdrop of the iconic 974 Stadium, the show combined artistic live performance with humour and audience interaction, led by renowned Qatari MC Saleh El Nawawy. Playing with the colours and geometric forms of a Rubik’s Cube–inspired visual universe, the ceremony unfolded as a lively sequence of performances and moments, blending entertainment, rhythm, and visual identity into a bold and contemporary opening. This edition also marked the beginning of a longer creative partnership, with LEAP set to lead the festival’s opening ceremonies through 2027 and 2028.
