A small team with

big ideas!

how it started

Founded in 2008 by a visionary team of young Jordanian entrepreneurs, 16th of May has grown into one of the region’s leading creative event management and experiential design companies. We go beyond organizing events — we design immersive experiences that inspire, engage, and endure, from high-profile, high-impact events to cultural festivals and live entertainment productions.

With deep expertise in entertainment production, corporate branding, and experiential design, we create distinctive concepts that elevate brands and captivate audiences. Driven by innovation, precision, and an uncompromising commitment to quality, we transform ambitious ideas into powerful realities that set new industry benchmarks.

As our vision expanded, 16th of May evolved into a multi-disciplinary platform led by 165 Entertainment — our core business and flagship brand — specializing in world-class live experiences and high-impact events, from major concerts to large-scale public festivals and premium corporate productions. Alongside it, 165 Design supports our productions through brand strategy, visual identity, and creative direction.

Together, we believe creativity is more than a service — it is a force that shapes culture, builds brands, and connects people through unforgettable experiences.
