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.
