RIYADH: The Diriyah Gate Development Authority (DGDA) kicked off a variety of events to commemorate the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s 92nd National Day on Friday, with activities for people of all ages and from every walk of life.  The authority joined organizations across the Kingdom celebrating the National Day, and the day’s events, organized in collaboration with multiple agencies, included the Diriyah March — a public celebratory parade with floats and residents filling Diriyah’s streets. In response to the popularity of the event over the past few years, this year’s edition featured a new concept built around four decorated vehicles touring through the city. In addition to the parade vehicles, the Riyadh Bikers club joined in and cruised their way around Diriyah. The Royal Saudi Navy’s Motorcycle Cavalcade also traveled from the helicopter landing pad to Ghusaibah, showcasing their sleek, polished bikes to participants and onlookers. Away from the march in Diriyah, three public parks in the districts of Faisaliah, Khalidiyah, and Jax district hosted festivities. Jerry Inzerillo, Group Chief Executive Officer of DGDA, expressed his congratulations to King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on the occasion of Saudi National Day. He pointed out that Diriyah played a key role in the Kingdom’s history as the cradle of the first Saudi state 300 years ago, stating that the area represents the core of Saudi cultural heritage, and traditions.  Inzerillo further emphasized that DGDA is consistently active in its engagement during every national event, particularly in celebrating with the city’s residents during special occasions and serving as a “good neighbor” to the people of Diriyah. He added that the diverse events reflect the authoritys desire to cater to the needs of residents and visitors, and come as part of its efforts to showcase the historical and cultural heritage of Diriyah while providing everything required to enjoy a modern lifestyle.
