Highlights
Walking down the Song Festival Grounds, we step into the story of how choral singing became Estonia’s quiet rebellion—a force so strong it helped bring down an empire. Through centuries, song has been more than music in Estonia. It has been a call to unity, a form of resistance, and the heartbeat of a nation unwilling to be silenced. As we walk, we listen—to the stories of those who stood here before, to the echoes of past festivals, and to the voices that still rise today. And yes, we will tell you about the bees—so eager to collect pollen and produce honey that, without realizing it, they managed to bring down an empire. Step into history. Walk through the music. Hear the songs that changed a nation.

About Tallinn
Tallinn is Estonia's capital on the Baltic, a medieval walled old town of towers, spires and cobbled lanes with a modern harbour beside it.
Tallinn's old town, a World Heritage site, sits on a limestone hill above the harbour, ringed by medieval walls and towers and divided into the upper town on Toompea and the lower town of merchants. The Hanseatic trading city grew rich in the Middle Ages, and Town Hall Square has what is described as the only surviving Gothic town hall in northern Europe, with a weather vane in the shape of Old Thomas. St Olaf's Church, once among the tallest buildings in Europe, rises above the roofs.
