Saudi National Day 2025: Air Shows, Fireworks & Celebrations Across the Kingdom

Saudi National Day 2025 promises to be a showstopper as the Kingdom gears up for its 95th anniversary with spectacular air shows, fireworks, and much more. The Royal Saudi Air Force is expected to bring powerful displays featuring aircraft such as Typhoons, F‑15SAs, Tornados, and F‑15Cs performing acrobatic manoeuvres over various cities. Alongside these aerial feats, night skies across Saudi Arabia will light up with fireworks as cities from Riyadh to Jeddah and beyond host celebrations to mark the occasion.

In addition to the sky-high displays, there will be cultural festivals, music performances, light shows, and heritage exhibitions scattered throughout the Kingdom. Public parks and waterfronts are likely to serve as central venues for communities to gather. Families can expect the atmosphere to be one of bold national pride roads and buildings decked in green and white, special events at prominent locations, and extensive programming that reflects Saudi Arabia’s unified history and identity.

While official times and locations for each air show and fireworks display are still to be fully confirmed, previous years’ performances typically begin in the late afternoon or early evening, with major fireworks displays around 9:00 PM in many cities. For the best experiences, spectators are advised to arrive early, choose vantage points away from heavy traffic, and follow announcements from the General Entertainment Authority (GEA), Saudi Press Agency, or other official sources as the date approaches.
