Paratroopers will show their skills as part of National Day celebrations at Aspire Park.
To mark this year’s National Day, Aspire Zone Foundation is organising a series of exciting and unique events in Aspire Park for all family members.
Running from December 14-19, the line-up of events includes remarkable performances by the Qatar Army Parachute and Paramotor Team and Internal Security Force (Lekhwiya), as well as classic car displays by ‘Mawater Qatar’ and an Instagram competition with awards up to QR100,000.
To kick off the celebrations, Aspire Park’s skyline will witness the country’s biggest skydiving performance by the Qatar Army Parachute and Paramotor Team, one of the top teams in the world, who will make their descent in the Park behind the lake near Al-Furousiya Street, tomorrow and Thursday from 4pm to 5pm. The event is expected to be attended by high ranking officials from Aspire Zone Foundation and the Qatar Armed Forces.
On Friday, Qatar’s Internal Security Force (Lekhwiya) will dazzle with unique and lively shows performed by their highly trained horses and police dogs, from 3pm to 5pm. These include displays of a variety of horse formations, barrier jumps, as well as tent pegging, a sport of ancient origin in which riders overcome an obstacle course while riding a horse and wielding a sword.
In addition, ‘Mawater Qatar’ will display a wide range of classic cars for the local community in general, and car enthusiasts in particular. With different cars displayed each day, the event will be showcased in a fun, safe, and family-oriented environment from December 15 to 17, opposite outdoor pitch 10.
Throughout the weekend, Aspire Park will dazzle with its beautiful display of maroon LED flowers on the lake after sunset. Aspire Zone Foundation will launch an Instagram competition from December 14 to 19 to select the best National Day picture taken from within Aspire Zone’s facilities, under the hashtag #AspireND2016.
