Today is Tallinn Day!
To mark the occasion, the opening event was the creation of the world's longest sprat sandwich at the Town Hall Square. The sandwich which measures 20 metres and took up ten tables was made by cooks from 20 nearby restaurants and cafes and then shared with the general public.
What is Tallinn Day?
In 1248 Tallinn gained Lübeck city rights and was granted admission to the Hanseatic League of European cities. Tallinn Day commemorates this historic event with a day full of fun cultural activities.
If you're in Tallinn today, be sure to check out some of the events. In Freedom Square tonight there will be a concert commencing at 7pm with live performances by Ott Lepland, Chalice and the Estonian National Youth Symphony Orchestra. Sounds great!
