Unaizah, Qassim – July 3, 2025 (8 Muharram 1447 AH)

The "Happiness Carnival" at Al-Ashrafiyah Park and "Unaizah Summer 2025" at Al-Hajeb parks continue drawing dense crowds, averaging more than 8,000 visitors a day, in a 45-day summer celebration overseen by Unaizah Municipality in partnership with the private sector, part of quality initiatives that improve quality of life and offer fresh entertainment content for all age groups.

The events form part of Unaizah Municipality's strategy to activate public spaces and turn them into sustainable entertainment destinations that combine community recreation with economic and tourism development, in line with Saudi Vision 2030's goals of building vibrant communities.

Two Complementary Family Entertainment Destinations

Al-Ashrafiyah Park, at the heart of residential neighborhoods, offers a safe entertainment platform for children and families, while Al-Hajeb parks provide open green spaces that attract visitors from inside and outside the governorate thanks to their extensive facilities and inviting family atmosphere.

The events include:

  • Daily live artistic and musical shows
  • Interactive play areas for children
  • A variety of food trucks
  • Display spaces for home-based producers and small projects
  • Community segments and live entertainment competitions

Economic and Community Empowerment Through Entertainment

Engineer Fares bin Mohammed Al-Qahtani, head of Unaizah Municipality, explained that the two festivals are part of efforts to activate partnership with the private sector to create local economic opportunities through the entertainment seasons, through:

  • Providing temporary jobs for young men and women
  • Supporting entrepreneurs in the food and events sectors
  • Boosting economic activity by raising visitor numbers to Unaizah

The two festivals are a successful model for investing in community infrastructure, turning parks and gardens into spaces for creativity, joy and community bonding.
