On the stage set up in the park, a musical and literary composition called "Fuzuli-530" was performed under the direction of Arif Buzovnaly, the head of the Khazar branch of the Union of Azerbaijan Writers.

Buzovnaly spoke about the creativity of the brilliant poet and thinker Muhammad Fuzuli, praising him as a rare master of words who composed diwans in Azerbaijani, Persian, and Arabic. Various mugham pieces based on the ghazals of Muhammad Fuzuli were performed by the singers Orkhan Huseynli and Konul Mammadli. Some of the poet's ghazals were recited by
artistic reciters Azizakhanim Kazimova and Aghaali Karimli. Young poets Kamal Huseynzadeh and Elsar Qadri read their nazires written in response to Fuzuli's ghazals.

Finally, a choreographic composition based on M. Fuzuli's poem "Leyli and Majnun" was presented.
