The Social Development Bank concluded its "Souq Al Dar" event, held in the Al Ghadeer district of Riyadh under the slogan "Our Market, Our Craft," in celebration of the 95th Saudi National Day. The event achieved widespread success, attracting more than 52,000 visitors over five days, from September 25 to 29. This significant turnout reflected the prestigious position the event has attained as a leading national platform to support productive families and showcase Saudi cultural heritage with a modern flair.

More than 400 productive families from across the Kingdom participated in "Souq Al Dar," offering a diverse range of products including traditional clothing, handicrafts, local foods, and artistic crafts such as embroidery, pottery, and leatherwork. This gave the event a rich and varied heritage character, reflecting the richness of Saudi crafts and the quality of local products.

The event also featured several areas that attracted large numbers of visitors. Ten specialized zones within the market served as dedicated platforms for productive families, allowing them to market their products through temporary sales outlets and opening new channels of communication with the community and consumers, thus enhancing their contribution to the national economy.

The "Dar Market" is a practical embodiment of the Social Development Bank's strategy to support the community economy by empowering productive families and entrepreneurs, providing innovative marketing platforms that contribute to developing their businesses, and enhancing their ability to transition towards more sustainable commercial establishments that have a greater impact on the GDP.
