The 10-day festival had nearly 20 light installations, stage performances, roaming costumed characters, and other entertainment acts every night.

The interactive light installations were organised by themes of the Elements, and had masterpieces designed and constructed by various international artists. With both stage and street performances, each zone at the festival saw a variety of live, family-friendly entertainment. The festival also had an interactive Qatar Calendar booth, with activities for visitors, brochures and guides, and a representative to answer questions about Qatar’s annual events calendar.
