WHAT: Doha Burger Festival 2017
WHERE: Hotel Park, Sheraton, Dafna, Qatar
WHEN: December 6 – December 9, 2017
It’s raining burgers!
I thought I just read it in a thread on social media to create an exclusive group for burger lovers in Qatar. And few days later, some teaser posts were already circulating on Instagram about the first ever Burger Festival in Qatar. Not sure if they are related to each other but true enough, it was finally here.
The story behind the festival
According to the organizer’s website (www.burgerfestival.qa):
“Doha Burger Festival 2017 is the first event of its kind catered specifically to a rapidly growing sector in the Food & Beverage industry. Focused on bringing the community together for 4 days of enjoyment, which includes fun activities for children, online and offline competitions, and most importantly, burger restaurants from all over the country and region. DBF2017 is the recognition of a craze that has taken over the region and a celebration of how far the industry of Burger Restaurants has grown.”
Let the battle of the burgers begin!
More than 35 burgers stalls are available at the Hotel Park… that’s more than 35 reasons to enjoy the outdoors this weekend! Truly, this festival is providing a heaven of burgers to hungry angels wanting for a trip to cloud 9. Also, this is an opportunity for both the established and new burger restaurants including home businesses in the country to have a platform to reach their target market.
While there are other popular burger joints who were not able to join, this year’s Burger Festival organized by Cosette Solutions is expected to be patronized by burger lovers of all ages. Best Life Qatar is out to find out which is the festival’s best burger, value-for-money burger, most instagram-worthy burger, and the most expensive burger, among other categories.

SIDE NOTES: Lessons to be learned from #DBF2017
Definitely, this pioneering effort which brought together several local entrepreneurs in Qatar should further encourage other business-minded individuals to pursue their passion. These people who have this endearing love for burgers has turned it into a profitable endeavor which is now taking centerstage during this festival.
On the otherhand, community groups in Doha who are also organizing similar events in the future can also be inspired by the amount of planning and design, and even strict implementation of food sanitation and packaging to make it both appealing and safe. Evidently, the power of branding and social media cannot be over emphasized. The instagrammable food presentation and even the booth designs are reasons to attract more customers.
Indeed, #DBF2017 provide some food for thoughts and literally… food for a hungry tummy!
