Bhubaneswar: As the city celebrations continued, day four of .FEST, which featured the “Chak De Odisha” theme, made the locals go ga-ga over watching their favourite Odia musicians perform on the best hits.

Over fifteen thousand locals and visitors enjoyed the local music on day 4, which was free for the public to attend. 

Locals and guests continued to enjoy the delectable regional delicacies from different Indian states as well as the international cuisines from the 16 Hockey World Cup participant nations and 24 Indian states. Additionally, they also enjoyed delicacies from Odisha. The Night Bazaar/Flea Market gave local artists, start-ups, performers, craftsmen, and innovators an excellent stage on which to display their products. The Flea Market, which was founded with the intention of displaying the handicrafts and textiles of Odisha, proved to be a wonderful crowd-puller and a shopping experience for visitors with more than 120 locally made goods on display.
