December 4
Mid-festival: the performance rotation continues, indigenous games peak, and special event windows (rallies, film screenings, fashion showcases) open across the week.
Morning, the arena
Arena performances continue, the rotation means tribes you missed on Days 1–2 are on stage today.
Afternoon, the grounds
Traditional games continue; special-event windows (motor rally flag-offs, film festivals, fashion showcases) have historically opened around this stretch of the festival.
Evening, Kohima
Rock concert nights build, the Hornbill music calendar runs through Kohima venues.
Who this day suits: A good day to plan the Dzükou trek's first leg if you're doing the festival-plus-trek combo.
