The festival will feature 14 entertainment zones, 11 global championships, 10 festivals, and numerous exhibitions. This year’s edition will be the "grandest" one yet, with more attractions and activities than ever before.

One of the first additions to Riyadh Season 2024 is Al Hosn Studios, which will allow visitors to explore the magic of the movies. The zone will feature a 25,000-square-metre Harry Potter Experience, modeled after the famous theme parks in Japan and Orlando. This is the first time Harry Potter will be brought to life in Saudi Arabia, giving visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the wizarding world.
Boulevard City will remain the centre of Riyadh Season 2024, boasting a Zombie Zone, dinosaur figures, and a paddle and snooker academy. Boulevard Runway, introduced in partnership with Saudi Airlines, will take over unused aeroplanes and convert them into stylish zones capable of holding over 9,000 people. It will feature restaurants from around the world and a horror-themed display.
