RIYADH: JAX District, Saudi Arabia’s leading creative hub overseen by the Diriyah Biennale Foundation, announced on Thursday the launch of JAX Flavors, a culinary initiative designed to celebrate the region’s diverse food entrepreneurs while fostering innovation in Riyadh’s evolving gastronomic landscape.

JAX Flavors provides emerging and established chefs from Saudi Arabia and the region with a dynamic platform to experiment with new concepts, reach new audiences, and become part of Diriyah’s vibrant creative ecosystem.

Seasonal activation welcomes a range of cuisines and approaches to food, from zero-waste food concepts and artisanal bakeries to street food innovations and full-service dining experiences.

Selected concepts will operate within the industrial heritage site for two to six months, coinciding with major art, design, music and fashion events taking place throughout the season.

The program particularly encourages concepts that demonstrate meaningful community connections and a commitment to responsible sourcing practices.
