This Sunday, May 15, marks Tallinn Day. To honour the annual event, which is in its 21st<\/sup> year, a full program of events will be taking place across the city this weekend, starting already on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a long history – this year marks the 700th anniversary of the first mentioning of Tallinn Town Hall, but Tallinn is also an open and innovative city where different people can live together in peace. Our cultural space fosters creativity, and innovation and teamwork is highly valued, helping us succeed in today’s fast-changing world. It is in difficult times that we are fully able to understand and appreciate the history and heritage of our community,\u201d Tallinn Mayor Mihhail K\u00f5lvart<\/strong> explained.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tallinn Day will officially begin with a dictation on Friday May 13 in Raekoja plats, which will be read by well-known Estonia singer and actor Ivo Uukkivi<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Saturday, May 14, various concerts and events will be taking place in the different districts of the city. There will be sports festivals in Pirita and Haabersti, planting campaigns in N\u00f5mme and Lasnam\u00e4e, a youth festival in Mustam\u00e4e, and much more. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On Sunday morning Prime Minister Kaja Kallas<\/strong> and Mayor Mihhail K\u00f5lvart will perform the ceremonial opening of the L\u00fchikese Jala gate in the old town. There will be a number of concerts, guided tours, and other events (mainly in the old town) throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n
