The National Day Parade in Qatar () is held annually on the occasion of Qatar National Day on 18 December. The holiday was established on 21 June 2007 by decree of the then Crown Prince Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. The primary participants in the parade come from the Qatar Armed Forces, the Internal Security Force, the Ministry of Interior, and Amiri Guard. The parade goes through the Doha Corniche as well as between the Qatar National Theater and the Emiri Diwan.
In the history of Qatar National Day, The National Day Parade along The Corniche has been altered significantly or canceled altogether a number of times.
Following the December 2016 end of the Battle of Aleppo in the Syrian Civil War, the government on 18 December announced it would cancel all festivities in solidarity with the people of the city of Aleppo.
The 10th anniversary of the parade's inception was marked with the a break in precedent by it being held in the afternoon instead of the morning. The soldiers on parade adopted the Chinese marching style which was the result of the training by members of the Beijing Garrison Honor Guard Battalion of the People's Liberation Army of China. Previously, the parade had followed the British Army marching style. Chinese-made guided ballistic missile launchers were also showcased.
This was also the first edition of the parade since the Qatar diplomatic crisis began.
The parade was the largest in Qatari history. The participation of military units in the parade was threefold. 90% of the weaponry seen at the parade was new according to the Commander of the Military Parade Center. This caused it to be extended form the usual 17 minute parade to around 45 minutes. The parade was held with the attendance of Turkey's Defense Minister Hulusi Akar. The Mehter Troop of the Turkish Armed Forces also participated. A band from the Italian Carabinieri was also present.
The parachute jumping ceremony was cancelled due to the inclement weather. It was the first parade since the opening of Doha Metro, which contributed to travel to the venue.
The Parade was held amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with only the families of the health sector workers being allowed to attend.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup Final, where Argentina beat France at Lusail Stadium, was scheduled to fall on Qatar National Day. To capitalize on this moment, the National Day Parade was organized and held immediately on Lusail Boulevard, after the Final, to coincide with the Champions' Parade.
Following the October 7 attacks and subsequent War on Gaza, the government canceled the National Day Parade in 2023 and in 2024, in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
On 4th December 2025, The Ministry of Culture announced that the National Day Parade will kick off on Thursday, December 18, 2025, along the Doha Corniche. This year marks the return of the parade after a 3-year hiatus, coinciding with a period of regional challenges and global events, including the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which has deeply affected the Palestinian people.
