Originally observed on 1 May, the Feast of St Walpurga is today celebrated the night before, and is called Walpurgis Night, or Volbri\u00f6\u00f6 in Estonian. It marks the arrival of spring, and is exactly six months after All Hallows Eve, or Halloween. Don\u2019t be surprised if you see witches and bonfires throughout the countryside!<\/p>\n
Student Days is in full swing right now in Tartu, and the best fire show is arguably going to be connected with this. At 23:00 on 30 April, next Thursday, there will be a massive fire show and concert at the Kaarsild Bridge over the Emaj\u00f5gi River. This event<\/span><\/a><\/span> is free. There will also be a lot of other parties throughout the city at the same time, before, and naturally after.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re in Tallinn and would like to celebrate Walpurgis Night inside in a relaxing environment, the Estonia National Opera will have a concert at 19:00 titled \u201cDark Tones and Enchantments: Tales and Legends of Walpurgis\u201d. This concert will feature chamber music, and tickets are available here<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n
