The festival celebrating all forms of art -Fannuge Dharin- was held on Saturday, in the capital's suburban district.
Over 200 artists and 70 musicians participated, with over 40 stalls accommodating all types of art including culinary enthusiasts.
A cleaning event was also held, in collaboration with TwitSaafu. This was an initiative taken by the organizers, to reduce plastic.
Speaking to RaajjeMV, an official from Fannuge Dharin said that those participating in the event were encouraged to take their own water bottles. Refill coolers were installed at the festival.
Hulhumale' Surfing Association held a stand-up competition, which was received well by those in attendance.
The first Fannuge Dharin festival was held in 2013. It is described as "a platform by artists for artists, both upcoming and established, to meet, share, inspire one another."
