Riyadh International Jazz Festival

The Saudi Music Commission successfully launched the inaugural Riyadh International Jazz Festival, celebrating the richness of jazz culture and positioning Saudi Arabia as a growing global arts hub. Recently, the festival joined the prestigious World Jazz Network, one of the foremost international platforms for jazz talent exchange, strengthening the Kingdom’s cultural presence worldwide. As part of this network, the Riyadh International Jazz Festival now connects with top jazz festivals and cultural institutions globally, fostering a vibrant exchange of expertise and creativity. Each year, network partners gather at the Amersfoort World Jazz Festival, promoting collaboration and development in the jazz field. The festival itself brings together prominent jazz musicians from around the world and offers a creative space for Saudi talent to showcase diverse musical styles through performances, art exhibitions, and activities—enhancing the visitor experience and solidifying Saudi Arabia’s role as a dynamic destination for culture, arts, and innovation.
