RIYADH: Spooky season festivities began in Riyadh after the Boulevard was transformed into a venue-wide costume party during the “Scary Weekend” event, which took place on Thursday and Friday.
Dressed-up visitors were granted free entry to the Boulevard on the condition that they wore scary costumes.
The event was dedicated to showcasing terrifying disguises and parading the creative designs of Saudis and residents. The goal was to create an atmosphere filled with fun, thrills and excitement as people discovered the stories behind various character costumes.
While Halloween has long been shunned across the Gulf, attendees at the event described the occasion as a form of harmless entertainment.
