The City Day celebration in Odessa culminated in a spectacular concert on Deribasivska Street. The city center was filled with thousands of locals and visitors. 

«This year’s celebration of City Day was unprecedented: from Venice to Vancouver, from Berlin to Baltimore. In France, Austria, Germany, the USA, Canada, and the UK, dozens of cities celebrated together with Odessa. We received heartfelt greetings from European commissioners, Bundestag deputies, British lords, and mayors of European capitals. Odessa — it is not just a point on the map or a date on the calendar. It is a rhythm, a style, humor, and freedom. But most importantly, it is us together. And here, on Deribasivska, we will celebrate together with Kalush! This band has become a symbol of modern Ukrainian music, a voice resonating around the world. And today Kalush is performing for Odessa. Happy City Day, Odessa!» said Odessa's mayor, Gennady Trukhanov.

During the concert, leading dance ensembles from Odessa, students from art schools, and talented vocalists showcased both elegant classical numbers and energetic contemporary performances. 

Special guests of the evening included the band JAZZ INSIDE, creating an atmospheric jazz mood, and MUAYAD, a finalist in the national selection for «Eurovision 2025».

The highlight of the evening was the performance of the legendary band Kalush Orchestra, which delivered unforgettable emotions.
