QetaiFAN Beach Fest partners with Playing for Change Foundation for music and arts festival

The festival will be held during the World Cup

-

Taking place from November 19 to December 18, QetaiFAN Beach Fest will welcome close to 30,000 fans daily to Qetaifan Island North, located in the city of Lusail, to enjoy a full variety of entertainm­ent options and live music from major internatio­nal artistes.

In the interests of the needs of the world and those less fortunate, QetaiFAN Beach Fest has joined hands with Playing for Change Foundation as its official philanthro­pic partner.

Playing for Change Foundation leverages individual cultures to help the next generation rise beyond the circumstan­ces they are facing to build a future for themselves, creating social and economic impact on their communitie­s.

“As we see so many cultures gather together in Qatar from every corner of the globe, this partnershi­p will allow each individual attending the festival to positively impact many of the countries they are coming from and others unable to participat­e, all through the universal language and power of music,” a press statement noted.

The artistes performing during the festival will be partners in not only providing incredible entertainm­ent and music to those attending, but will also be helping children worldwide rise through their own culture.

With programmes already successful­ly operating in 15 countries and influencin­g thousands of students every day, Playing for Change Foundation looks to utilise the proceeds from QetaiFAN Beach Fest to significan­tly expand the arts education reach and offerings in the Mena region and beyond.

“We could not be more grateful to the partners of QetaiFAN Beach Fest and the hundreds of artistes participat­ing from across the globe. It is truly an honour for Playing for Change Foundation to be joining QetaiFAN Beach Fest as their charitable partner. The funds raised will go towards helping children in the areas of greatest need to rise up through their own culture and create social impact in their communitie­s,” said Jake Groshong, CEO of Playing for Change Foundation.

QetaiFAN Beach Fest is a partnershi­p between UVentures and Qetaifan Projects, developing an entertainm­ent area on Qetaifan Island North, located in the city of Lusail, during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. Operated jointly with Madaeen Al Doha Group and in strategic partnershi­p with Fusion Hospitalit­y and Exhibition­s, the festival will operate from early morning until latenight hours during the entirety of the tournament.
