The annual Tallinn Day opened Saturday morning with the traditional meet-up of Tallinn Mayor and Prime Minister at the Lühike Jalg gates in the Old Town.
To celebrate Tallinn Day, the Environment and Public Utilities Department of Tallinn presented the book “Tallinn Parks and Green Areas”, the 700 pages of which describe the history of the city's green areas.
The development work of the Tallinn Botanical Garden is in full force, and in the coming years, a new visitor centre will be opened on its premises. Last week, the Tallinn City Property Department signed an agreement with Projektibüroo OÜ for the design of the reconstruction of the administrative building and conservatory located at Kloostrimetsa tee 52.
On Saturday, May 15, Tallinn Day will be celebrated for the 20th time. In view of the current restrictions, various opportunities will be offered to participate in Tallinn Day from the beginning of the week.
Although it is still restricted to organise events, there are many ways in Tallinn to celebrate a joyful and memorable Mother's Day. Already from tomorrow, May 7, you can listen to web concerts and visit exhibitions; museums, the Zoo and the Botanical Garden are open.
Despite the fact that The Tall Ships Races 2021 will be postponed to 2024, the city will be holding a grandiose maritime festival and several other traditional summer events.
The world's largest training regatta ‘The Tall Ships Races’ will not take place this year due to COVID-19 restrictions and the ongoing spread of the pandemic. The regatta will return to the Baltic Sea in 2024. Instead, Tallinn will be holding an impressive maritime festival in the five ports of Tallinn this summer, taking place in 16-18 July.
The city supports local companies through the summer campaign "Discover Tallinn!", which invites all Estonians to take part in the capital's diverse cultural summer.
