Turki Alalshikh Launches Riyadh Season’s Seventh-Edition Guide
Turki bin Abdulmohsen Alalshikh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the General Entertainment Authority, has launched the Riyadh Season guide for its seventh edition, offering the public a comprehensive reference to the Season’s districts, events, and diverse entertainment experiences.
The guide was released ahead of Riyadh Season 2026, which Alalshikh previously announced would begin on Wednesday, October 21. The launch allows visitors to explore the Season’s offerings early and plan their visits according to their interests.
Global Sports Events
The guide highlights some of the Season’s most anticipated events, including WWE Crown Jewel, the Six Kings Slam tennis tournament, and the “Mexico vs. the World” bout featuring Canelo Álvarez and Christian Mbilli, alongside Zuffa Boxing 1 and Zuffa Boxing 2, a UFC event, and the cultural Ethnosport Festival.
The lineup reflects the breadth of the Season’s sports program, which combines combat sports, tennis, and professional wrestling, reinforcing Riyadh’s position as a destination for global events that attract local audiences and visitors from outside the Kingdom.
Districts, Diverse Experiences
The guide presents the Season’s content by district, beginning with Boulevard World and its diverse global cultures and experiences, and Boulevard City, which brings together events, shows, and entertainment offerings.
It also features Wonder Garden with its experiences, games, and family-friendly atmosphere; Via Riyadh with its premium dining, shopping, and entertainment experiences; and The Groves, which combines hospitality, dining, and entertainment in one setting.
Local Culture, Heritage
The Season extends beyond international events and modern entertainment, as the guide also covers Al-Suwaidi Park and its varied cultural and entertainment experiences, as well as Riyadh Zoo and its wildlife- and animal-related offerings.
It also highlights Winter Wonderland, with its atmosphere inspired by local heritage, alongside the Farmers’ Market, which brings together local products, food, and accompanying activities, strengthening the cultural and heritage dimension of the Season.
Arts, Family Program
The guide also includes a program of concerts, theatrical and comedy performances, exhibitions, festivals, and entertainment and family experiences, offering visitors diverse options suited to different ages and interests.
Through this integration of global sports, arts, culture, heritage, hospitality, and family experiences, the seventh-edition guide presents Riyadh Season as a comprehensive entertainment ecosystem, rather than simply a series of individual events.
