About the event

What is Riyadh Season?

Riyadh Season is organised by the General Entertainment Authority as part of the Saudi Seasons programme. It first ran in 2019. The sixth season opened on 10 October 2025 across 11 zones, and the seventh season, under the slogan 'Big Time', opens on 21 October 2026 and runs for ten weeks. Its main zones include Boulevard World, Boulevard City and Wonder Garden, alongside sports nights, concerts and theatre.

The 2024–25 season reported around 20 million visitors. Thousands of companies take part as sponsors, operators, restaurants and retailers. Because the season runs for weeks and changes often, brands benefit from a steady flow of photos, reels and recap videos that keep their presence visible from opening night to the final weekend.
