Experience a Timeless Tradition of Unity in Estonia in 2025
We are excited to share one of the most significant cultural events in the Baltic region – the Estonian Song and Dance Celebration, taking place from July 3-6, 2025, in Tallinn. Held only once every five years, this unique festival is a cornerstone of Estonian identity, bringing together tens of thousands of singers, dancers, and musicians. In 2003, the Estonian Song and Dance Festival was recognized by UNESCO. It is a living expression of national pride, resilience, and unity, deeply symbolic to Estonians, who have preserved their culture through centuries of challenges. The grand finale of the event features a powerful mass choir performance with up to 30,000 singers joining in song.
