The fair’s schedule includes a variety of activities such as seminars, dialogue sessions, poetry readings, and discussions with thinkers, writers, and social media influencers.

Additionally, the exhibition offers workshops on content writing, analyzing children’s drawings, art therapy, working with the deaf, scriptwriting, and book reviewing. There is also a dedicated children’s program for ages 3 to 12, featuring games, interactive cultural competitions, theatrical performances, traditional crafts, and reading sessions with Saudi authors.
