AROUND 43,000 visitors headed to the Aspire Park over the weekend (March 23-24).
They witnessed the spectacular 2nd Aspire Lake Festival, which lit up the sky at Aspire Park and its lake with the most beautiful colours and fireworks displays.
The event's huge popularity on the first day prompted Aspire Zone Foundation (AZF) to expand the number of spectator stands from 5,000 seats to 8,000, almost double to what the organisers initially expected, in response to requests made from the visitors and social media users.
In keeping with AZF's role to support small business owners, AZF also provided a platform for Qatari small business entrepreneurs to showcase their products to festival-goers in the Park. Sales from their products throughout the festival amounted to more than QR1 million.
The event was organised by AZF, in partnership with Ooredoo, Qatar Airways, the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy and Katara. It was directed by French artiste Christophe Berthonneau. (TNN)
