Riyadh Season 2024 Dates Revealed

Riyadh Season 2024, the fifth edition of the capital’s celebrated program of entertainment, cultural and sporting events, is set to make a spectacular return this October. The news was announced on X (formerly Twitter) by Turki Al-AlShaikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, famed for orchestrating some of the most headline-grabbing boxing matches in recent years.

The season will kick off with an opening card fight between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev on October 12th. Previous seasons have showcased international superstars such as K-Pop sensations BTS and Kanye West, along with unique culinary adventures like Riyadh Sky.

Events will unfold across various venues in the city, including Boulevard World, which boasts the world’s largest man-made lake; Food Trucks park, a hotspot for gourmet restaurant pop-ups; and for the first time, Riyadh Exit, a distinctive open-air glamping experience.

Riyadh Season has also earned international acclaim for its lavish opening ceremonies, setting Guinness World Records for the most remote-operated drones launching fireworks simultaneously.
