Founded in 1981 by the late Queen Noor, the Jerash Festival for Culture and Arts is held annually in the historical city of Jerash, 48 kilometres north of the Jordanian capital Amman. It is part of the Jordan Festival, which aims to enrich cultural activities in Jordan.
The event takes place in the spectacular, floodlit settings of the Jerash ruins and includes folklore dances by both local and foreign groups, ballet, concerts, dramas, opera, popular singers, and traditional handicraft sales.

It also significantly contributes to the revitalization of the Kingdom's economy and tourism industry, as well as that of the city of Jerash and its surrounding community.
