The Riyadh Season Festival is a mega entertainment event that begins in October and lasts for three months. The festival hosts more than 100 different events that take place across over 10 main areas in the city. It brings unique entertainment to Saudi Arabia such as the K-pop band BTS, international and Arabic artists, and Michelin star restaurants. 

Souk Okaz was one of three major open-air fairs that served as commercial, social and cultural hubs in the pre-Islamic era. The Souk Okaz Festival of today is a modern rendition that takes place in Taif during summer. It combines various arts, literature, and serves as an occasion to honor writers and intellectuals from inside and outside Saudi Arabia.  The Crown Prince Camel Festival, one of the world’s largest and most important camel races, is a highlight of the festival.
