To ensure the smooth organization of the XXVIII Song and XXI Dance Celebration “Iseoma” next week, the City of Tallinn is implementing several temporary changes to traffic and public transportation to ensure safe and convenient movement for participants and guests. The main impacts on traffic will be caused by the procession, dance performances, and concerts at the Song Festival Grounds.

The weekend’s Song and Dance Celebration procession and major concerts at the Song Festival Grounds will bring significant traffic changes to central Tallinn. Several streets will be closed, many bus routes rerouted, and tram traffic will be suspended during the procession.

From 4–7 August, Tallinn will host the 57th International Children’s Games (ICG) – the world’s largest multi-sport event for 12–15-year-olds, officially recognised by the International Olympic Committee. The competition brings together city delegations from across the globe.

The Tallinn City Government has approved the full use of the purchase option under the contract concluded by AS Tallinna Linnatransport, under which 30 additional battery trolleybuses will be acquired next year.

From 1 September, City of Tallinn will introduce a new bus route, No. 8A, running between Mähe aedlinn and Viru keskus to provide Mähe and Pirita residents with an alternative connection to the city centre. The decision follows feedback on previous changes to route No. 8.

Next weekend, 23–24 August, the international triathlon IRONMAN Tallinn 2025 will cause temporary traffic restrictions and changes in both Tallinn and Harju County. In Tallinn, these changes will mainly affect Haabersti and Põhja-Tallinn districts, with parking and traffic restrictions as well as adjustments to public transport timetables.

Starting Monday, June 10, construction work on water and sewer lines will begin on F. R. Kreutzwaldi Street, leading to traffic restrictions. At the same time, two-way traffic for both cars and public transport will be restored on Gonsiori Street, which has been closed since March last year due to the construction of the Old City Harbour tramway. Additionally, from June 7, the southern branch of Ahtri Street will be opened to traffic, and traffic in the harbour area will be fully restored.

The newly established Kopli Volunteer Fire Brigade is inviting everyone to its Community and Open House Day on June 9.

On Wednesday, June 26, major reconstruction work will begin on Lastekodu Street, resulting in a high-quality urban space where people can safely and comfortably move on foot, by bike, or by car. The construction will bring changes to downtown traffic and, in later stages, to public transportation.
