Autoville is the Saudi International Motor Festival, and it occurs on or around the time of the Dakar Rally in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This event premiered in 2022 as a seven-day festival. Like most events in Kingdom, it is family-friendly with virtual events, music, driving and drifting lessons, typical car show fare, and exhibitors. COVID-19 dampened some of the events, but the first year went well.

They are as fearless in their cars as their ancestors were on horseback. I've been in traffic on King Fahd Road and watched two cars drift, literally horizontal drift, past us into the intersection right before afternoon prayers. That is a mild example of what you can find!
Autoville is one of a host of new events in the Kingdom. As the nation emerges under the youthful leadership of His Royal Highness, The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, it has expanded its global footprint in arts, culture, tourism, education, and even music and fashion.
PLEASE NOTE:
Treat all televised and venue-specific events (sporting, concerts, trade shows, etc.) as estimated. Several factors can cause an event to move dates at the last minute, including weather, strikes, natural disasters, political upheaval, conflicting programming, pandemics, and current events. Because of this, always verify the event with the promotor before committing resources. LEEP often estimates dates based on the previous year's schedules, as the final dates are unknown until a few months, weeks, or days before the event. If the date is known to be estimated, you will see an (est) following the date in the title.
