This festival will feature several of Estonia\u2019s top artists, creating a unique feel specific to the Seto people, who have their own language, which is closely related to the V\u00f5ro dialect of Estonian. This is a unique opportunity to get to know this charming and ancient culture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Performers in the village of Ostrova, where the festival will take place, include top acts such as <b>Ivo Linna<\/b>, <b>Tanel Padar<\/b>, Traffic, Ska Factor, Ines, Lenno, and of course Zetod. One of the many things that makes Ostrova Festival unique is that it will have an official emcee, the one and only <b>Koit Raudsepp<\/b> from Raadio 2. Koit is quite possibly Estonia\u2019s most well-known radio DJ, and his catchphrase is \u201cBeat, beat, ja veel kord beat!\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Another major thing that makes Ostrova Festival so special is precisely the Seto people. This festival honours the richness of their heritage, culture, and identity, something that cannot be found anywhere else in Estonia, or even in the world. A one-of-a-kind feature of this festival is that Setomaa is so rich in berries of all kinds, and their berry wares will be available to purchase. Jams, wines, tea, berry cookies\u2026it\u2019s all available <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/ostrovamari.ee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">on site<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The second day will have several activities for children, including a children\u2019s theatre performance, and a children\u2019s disco, both in the early afternoon.
