Updated to reflect a change in venue and format at this year’s fest

The annual Qatar International Food Festival (QIFF) will kick off at the end of this month, according to its website.

Now in its eighth year, the event will run for 11 days, from March 29 to April 8.

It will be held at the Hotel Park off of the Corniche, instead of the usual MIA Park.

The festival does not appear to be bringing back most of the offerings from previous years. There has been no mention of fireworks, Dinner in the Sky or a Year of Culture pavilion.

We’ll share more details about the event as they become available.

Who’s going? Thoughts?
