AlUla published its events calendar highlighting four festivals including Winter at Tantora, AlUla Skies, AlUla Arts and AlUla’s Wellness Festival. These events will be organized under the banner of AlUla Moments.
The festivals will offer curated experiences of art, culture, music, nature, wellness, equestrian, gastronomy and astronomy. The events will include free and ticketed experiences, with tickets and information available at experiencealula.com.
The four distinct festivals will commence on 21 December and run through to 30 March against the backdrop of AlUla’s many timeless wonders. Musical performances will also be back in AlUla with Maraya taking centre stage again as the venue for regional and international acts starting from this October.
Winter at Tantora, the very first music and arts festival in the Kingdom, returns now in a six-week format. A stunning Candlelit Symphonic Concert at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hegra will set the tone for the festival season as the opening event. Winter at Tantora will run from 21 December to 12 February.
From February 2021, the AlUla Arts festival will bring together exhibitions and encounters created by a diverse array of artistic talents, in celebration of AlUla’s legacy as a cultural crossroads. The AlUla Arts festival can be experienced from February 13, with headline exhibitions running to the end of March.
It’s no secret that the fascinating geological landscapes of AlUla, from the volcanic plains to the ancient heritage sites, are best seen from the air – introducing AlUla Skies. It is all bookable from 27 February to 12 March.
And as part of the new AlUla Wellness Festival in March 2022, a Five Senses Sanctuary will offer a full range of mind, body and soul experiences from expert yoga, meditation and mindfulness practitioners.
