We are brimming with excitement!

Riyadh's upcoming festivities, enriched with entertainment and culture, began with the grand "Big Time" theme and the Tyson Fury fight, extending through Diriyah Season until January.

Since 2019, Riyadh Season has been a major and successful seasonal event in Saudi Arabia, with top international talent.

Riyadh Season's themed zones feature diverse activities and live performances by international and local artists, some at Boulevard Hall. The Wonder Garden zone has been announced, featuring the world's largest mobile amusement park, spanning half a million square meters and accommodating over 40,000 visitors.

Around 60% of Riyadh Season events will bring novel experiences. One is Barbie Land, narrating the doll's history, coinciding with its popular film.

Immersive attractions like House of Hype and DancingFountains connect reality with virtual reality, plus a cat cafe, educational children's experience, and thrilling Five Nights at Freddy.
