Running from October 28th, 2023, to April 2024, this edition of Riyadh Season promises to be a grand celebration, featuring an array of diverse zones that cater to a broad spectrum of interests.
The heart of Riyadh Season 2023 lies in its 12 distinct zones, each offering a unique experience. From the enchanting Boulevard City to the top-tier entertainment area of Boulevard World, the charming blend of nature and sophistication in The Groves, and the magical experiences in Wonder Garden, the event caters to the varied interests of its visitors.
Notably, Boulevard City has tripled in size, making it one of the largest zones in Riyadh Season.
