An art workshop will be organised in the morning where famous artists from across the state will train the younger ones. This apart, a sand art exhibition by Sudarsan Pattnaik will be the highlight of the event. Apart from cultural activities, a number of beach and adventure sports such as beach karate, beach kabadi, volleyball, malkhamb, judo, para sailing will be held during the carnival. A tattoo workshop has been planned as well.
