Qassim Region Municipality, represented by Al-Basar Municipality, is preparing to launch the "Sayf Al-Basar" (Al-Basar Summer) festival tomorrow at Prince Faisal bin Mishaal bin Saud Park, amid a green rural setting that lends the event a distinctive natural atmosphere, with a range of activities for the whole family, in cooperation between government and private-sector partners as part of the region's summer events season.

Held at one of Al-Basar's most prominent natural sites, the festival offers a package of daily activities, most notably:

  • Theatrical and artistic entertainment shows on the open-air stage
  • A bird garden
  • Interactive competitions and daily prizes
  • A children's corner
  • A variety of food trucks
  • Dedicated spaces for productive families and craftspeople to display their heritage products

Engineer Elyas Al-Suwaina, head of Al-Basar Municipality, said this year's festival embodies the concept of "humanizing events" by blending the event site's palm groves and green expanses, creating a natural recreational setting that enhances quality of life and elevates the summer tourism experience in Qassim.

Al-Suwaina noted that the Sayf Al-Basar festival has become one of the region's most prominent seasonal events, with social, touristic and developmental dimensions, pointing to the municipality's efforts to deliver a well-rounded experience in partnership with multiple private-sector entities to meet the expectations of residents and visitors alike.
