This year’s Jeddah Season is taking over some of the city’s most iconic destinations, from the buzzing Jeddah Promenade at the waterfront to the beachfront of Obhur, and shopping malls across the city. Expect vibrant installations, high-energy performances, and curated cultural zones spread across the Red Sea’s glimmering coast.

Running from May through October 4, Jeddah Season 2025 brings almost three months of non-stop experiences to the Kingdom’s summer capital. Think of it as a city-wide festival, designed to make every day feel like the weekend, whether you're a local or flying in for the sun-drenched fun.

Activities

The season opens with dazzling drone shows, interactive roaming performers, and family-friendly entertainment along the promenade. At the Western Coast beach zone, you’ll find water sports, live music, and a ladies-only beach that blends comfort with cool.

Escape the heat with Indoor Forest, a jungle-themed adventure park packed with bubble zones, sensory installations, and even a pet adoption corner. Art lovers can explore exhibitions like teamLab and Forest Wonder, while foodies can snack their way through street food pop-ups, beachside trucks, and gourmet stalls.

Meanwhile, the Jeddah Shopping Festival (until August 31) transforms the city into a commercial playground, with hotel discounts, weekly giveaways, and live in-mall shows.

The theme for 2025 is "Jeddah is Different", and it’s a fitting motto. Beyond the music and markets, the season reflects Saudi’s growing global identity.
