Tallinna päev (Tallinn Day) is an annual city celebration held on May 15th, marking the date in 1248 when Tallinn received its official city rights from the Lübeck Law. The day honors the Estonian capital’s rich history and cultural heritage with a full program of free concerts, museum events, guided tours, and family activities across the Old Town and city districts. Locals and visitors alike enjoy the festive atmosphere as Tallinn’s streets fill with music, art, and historical reenactments.
