AlUla Date Festival’s children’s area draws crowds

ALULA: The children’s area of the AlUla Date Festival has been a hit with young attendees. The area offers seven activities: freehand drawing, agricultural education, physical games, carnival games, photography, confectionery, and face painting.
The Royal Commission for AlUla, which organized the festival, has ensured parents can take part in games with their children and provided all the necessary tools and materials for drawing. Local farmers have also been engaged to instruct children on the principles of agriculture.
The establishment of the children’s area aligns with the commission’s goal to make the festival an enticing destination for families. The design of the children’s area is inspired by AlUla’s environment, heritage, and culture, all presented in a manner intended to help children connect with their heritage and the diverse products of AlUla.
The commission has also launched the AlUla Date Festival Market, which will run until November 11.
