A new book Laulupidu 2017 illustrates behind the scenes moments in 350 photos taken during the XII Estonian Youth Song and Dance Celebration week. Latvian photographer Mārtiņš Kālis, who has performed similar photography projects in Latvia, believes that the true essence of Song and Dance Celebrations can be experienced only among the participants during everyday rehearsals, life at school, long night chats with friends and persisting hot sun or heavy rain. But, undeniably, also the public side of the festival - procession and concerts - is a wonderful culmination of the festival.
