DGDA Launches Eid Cultural Program Across Diriyah
21 March 2026
The Diriyah Gate Development Authority (DGDA) launched a three-day festive program celebrating Eid Al-Fitr from March 20 to 22, 2026, for residents and visitors of all ages.
The historic At‑Turaif District in Diriyah serves as a central hub, featuring the Saudi Ardah dance at Salwa Palace and the “Hal Al-Qusoor” program, which uses interactive storytelling to highlight the history of the First Saudi State.
Festivities extend to Diriyah’s other districts, featuring traditional celebrations, folk performances, and family-friendly entertainment. Children can participate in specialized workshops focused on storytelling and creative writing, while family activities also highlight Najdi heritage through play. The programs focus on craftsmanship, offering workshops in arts and traditional trades such as accessory design, leather engraving, and the creation of custom oud mixtures, soap, and prayer beads.
These initiatives strengthen Diriyah’s position as a leading global cultural destination and align with Saudi Vision 2030 by enhancing the quality of life.
