AlUla Arts Festival will return from 15 January to 6 February 2027, with events spread across multiple venues in AlUla, including AlUla Oasis and the AlJadidah Arts District. The announcement follows the 2026 edition, which was described as the festival's largest to date.
The 2027 programme is set to feature contemporary-art exhibitions, large-scale installations, live performances, hands-on workshops, talks, and design activities. The line-up is designed to blend creative experiences with the natural and cultural setting of AlUla.
Timings will vary by venue and programme, and the full schedule has not yet been published. Organisers have also not announced ticket prices. Some exhibitions and public experiences may be free to attend, while selected activities are expected to require tickets, which will be available through Experience AlUla's official event platform.
Why it matters
For residents and visitors looking to plan ahead, the festival offers a three-week window to experience one of the Kingdom's most distinctive cultural destinations. With its mix of free and ticketed programming, the event appeals to families, art enthusiasts, and travellers seeking a weekend getaway during the cooler winter season.
As AlUla continues to grow as a cultural hub, the arts festival remains one of its headline annual events. We will share further details on timings, fees, and the full programme once they are officially confirmed.
