The Qassim Municipality is organizing heritage events at the Housing Park in Buraidah
In a move aimed at strengthening social bonds and reviving authentic cultural heritage, the Qassim Region Municipality organized a unique community event at the Housing Park in Buraidah. This initiative is part of a series of activities launched by the municipality to improve quality of life and create recreational spaces suitable for all segments of society, with a particular focus on creating a traditional atmosphere that reflects the region's rich history.
The event witnessed a large turnout of families and visitors who flocked to enjoy a complete heritage experience, with live cooking demonstrations taking center stage. Chefs and specialists prepared the most famous traditional dishes for which the region is known, using traditional tools and techniques. This allowed visitors to experience the details of traditional Qassim cuisine, from natural ingredients to preparation methods passed down through generations, creating an interactive and intimate atmosphere.
These events are of particular importance within the framework of the Kingdom's Vision 2030, specifically the Quality of Life Program, which aims to diversify recreational options and enhance the participation of citizens and residents in cultural activities. Municipalities across the Kingdom are working to revitalize public parks and municipal facilities, transforming them into cultural centers that serve not only as recreational spaces but also as platforms for disseminating culture, arts, and heritage.
It is worth noting that Buraidah, the capital of the Qassim region, boasts a rich culinary and cultural heritage, having previously been included in UNESCO's Creative Cities Network in the field of gastronomy. This global recognition reflects the depth of the region's food culture, which is considered the "food basket" of the Kingdom. Therefore, events like this one at the Housing Park are not merely fleeting entertainment, but rather part of a broader strategy to preserve and promote national identity among future generations.
The event concluded with enthusiastic participation from attendees in the accompanying activities, creating a warm, family-friendly atmosphere and fostering social interaction between residents and visitors. The Qassim Region Municipality affirmed its commitment to continuing such impactful initiatives that highlight the region's cultural identity and support tourism and community development, thereby contributing to sustainable development and the well-being of residents and visitors alike.
