Founding Day 2027 marks three centuries since the First Saudi State was established in 1727. We deliver your organisation's celebration from the first idea to the last photograph: the occasion's visual identity, the décor, the heritage corner, the gifts, the performances and the coverage.
Founding Day falls on 22 February every year — a fixed Gregorian date that does not shift with the Hijri calendar. It is a public holiday in the Kingdom.
It marks the establishment of the First Saudi State in 1727 by Imam Muhammad bin Saud in Diriyah. That makes 22 February 2027 exactly three hundred years from that founding.
Which is what sets 2027 apart: a tricentenary happens once in a lifetime, and the organisations that plan early secure their suppliers and venues before February fills up.
They are regularly mixed up, and the difference matters — in date, in spirit, and in what gets designed for them.
| Aspect | Founding Day | National Day |
|---|---|---|
| Date | 22 February | 23 September |
| What it marks | The First Saudi State, 1727 | Unification of the Kingdom, 1932 |
| Spirit | Roots, heritage, historical depth | Unity, national pride, ambition |
| Design language | Najdi architecture, historical dress, horses, palms, the souq | Green, the flag, modern symbols, an official annual theme |
| What suits it | Heritage corner, ardah, traditional food, historical exhibit | Gala, light shows, gifts in the year's identity |
Because the design language differs, National Day material does not transfer to Founding Day. Reusing it is noticed by your own staff before any guest.
From a small corner in the lobby to a full day. We start from your space and headcount rather than from what looks impressive in a deck.
The simplest and fastest to deliver: a corner at the entrance or in the lobby carrying the occasion's identity, which staff pass in the morning, photograph and collect a gift from.
Staff in historical dress and the office transformed for a day. The highest participation for the lowest cost, because the staff themselves create the content.
A full event in a hall or the company courtyard: leadership address, a historical presentation, a Najdi ardah and a traditional buffet.
A concept specific to 2027: an exhibition route linking three centuries of the nation's history to your organisation's own, standing for a week rather than a day.
Design, manufacturing and photography are all in-house. You are not coordinating four suppliers who blame each other when something runs late.
A design made for your organisation, drawn from the occasion's spirit and applied across everything from the invitation to the backdrop to the gift.
Backdrops, corners and structures built in our Riyadh factory, so we control the quality and the date without a middleman.
Staff gifts in the occasion's identity — packaging and printing produced in-house, in quantities matched to your headcount.
Najdi ardah troupes, traditional catering, and a run sheet timed to the minute.
Video and stills on the day, with short cuts ready for your channels before the working day ends.
A team that runs the whole day — build before, operation during, strike after.
Select the lines you want from the sections below. You get a printable scope document to send to your management, and we come back with a proposal against exactly what you chose.
Our base and factory are in Riyadh and we deliver across the main cities. February is a crowded month — booking early secures the crew and the materials.
Not promises — differences that show on delivery day.
Décor and gifts are produced in-house, so we are not waiting on a supplier who slips, and you are not paying their margin. If something breaks on the morning of the event, we make the replacement the same day.
Copy, addresses and historical content are written in Arabic from the start. An occasion about the nation's roots cannot carry language that reads as translated.
Design, manufacturing, operation and photography sit with one accountable party. No coordination across four suppliers, and no blame passed when something runs late.
Founding Day is one of several seasons we run for corporate clients.
Founding Day falls on 22 February every year — a fixed Gregorian date that does not move with the Hijri calendar, unlike Islamic occasions. 22 February 2027 marks three hundred years since the First Saudi State was founded.
Yes, Founding Day is an official public holiday in the Kingdom. In practice that means the company celebration usually runs on the working day before it — and that day books out early, because demand concentrates on it.
Founding Day on 22 February marks the establishment of the First Saudi State in 1727. National Day on 23 September marks the unification of the Kingdom in 1932. The first is about roots and heritage, the second about unity and ambition — and their design languages are entirely different.
Yes. We design an identity for your organisation drawn from the occasion's spirit, applied to the invitation, the backdrop, the gift and the signage. We do not take a ready-made template and place your logo on it.
A heritage corner can be delivered in two weeks. A full corporate celebration needs four to six weeks. An extended exhibit needs longer. For 2027 specifically we recommend booking early, because the tricentenary will raise demand on suppliers and venues.
Yes. Our base and factory are in Riyadh and we deliver in Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar and the other main cities. Décor is built with us, transported and installed at your site.
There is no minimum. A heritage corner suits a team of twenty as well as five hundred — the scale changes, not the idea. We will tell you honestly what suits your headcount and your space.
Yes. The print house and factory are ours, so we produce the quantities you need and hold the delivery date ourselves rather than depending on an outside supplier.
