The story

FOWG Festival in Riyadh

Fowg is a Riyadh rooftop entertainment event covered by Arab News in December 2023 as part of the city's expanding nightlife scene, though available evidence does not confirm whether it operates as a recurring annual festival or was a more limited, one-time or occasional event series.

In December 2023, Arab News published a short feature describing a Riyadh event called Fowg as taking the city's nightlife to new heights through a rooftop setting, one of many signs of how quickly Riyadh's entertainment scene has expanded since Saudi Arabia's 2019 reforms opened the door to public concerts, festivals and nightlife venues that had not existed in any organized form before.
