This year's festival marks the silver jubilee of His Majesty King Abdullah II's assumption of his constitutional powers and expresses solidarity with Palestine and the Gaza Strip, which have endured a genocidal war since October 7 by Israeli occupation forces.

The opening ceremony will be held at the Northern Theater of the Roman City of Jerash, featuring national performances that celebrate Jordan's history and the Kingdom's pivotal role in supporting Palestine. Artistic, cultural, intellectual and folklore programs will begin at noon Thursday, according to organizers.

The festival includes an intellectual and cultural program, featuring poetry evenings with poets from Jordan and the Arab world, a conference on the "renewal of renaissance thought," and a forum on short story. Artists known for their patriotic and committed songs will also perform, alongside an elite group of Jordanian artists.

The festival will also showcase artistic, cultural, and folkloric activities from Palestine, including performances by poet Abdullah Issa, singer Sana Moussa, and the Soul Band from the Gaza Strip.
