FOR MAKERS, COLLECTORS & INDEPENDENT MINDS
You make it. You find it.
You give it character.
HIGH FIVE! DOHA is a two-day creative outdoor festival bringing together independent brands, local makers, art, vinyl, rare finds, food and music. We welcome people whose work adds something distinctive to that mix.
Introduce your brand ↗
YOUR PLACE IN THE FESTIVAL
The festival unfolds at The Backyard, Sheraton Grand Doha. Visitors move between a curated market, the Vinyl Market, the Garage Sale and the Art Wall, with food and music woven into the afternoon.
A central social lawn creates a place to gather, compare discoveries and stay longer. Your stall becomes part of a connected experience where people can spend time with the products and meet the person behind them. A considered display and an open conversation help visitors see the care behind what you bring.
Quality. Character. Curiosity.Fashion, accessories, jewellery, ceramics, fragrance, candles, flowers, books, gifts and thoughtfully made objects. We look for a clear identity, a considered collection and people who can tell the story behind their work.
Original artworks, prints, illustration, small editions and distinctive design objects. The Art Wall brings creative work into the festival journey, giving visitors a chance to discover the artist as well as the piece. Share representative work and a short introduction to your medium, ideas and approach.
