For three days only, from 28 - 30th September 2023, the annual light festival ÖÖvalgel will take place in Pärnu. It's the largest cultural event in Pärnu and is a festival of light theatre. Unlike other light festivals, Pärnu's light festival focuses on performance, where stories are told through light and video projections, with the main character always being a living person. ÖÖvalgel begins each night at 8pm and concludes at 11:30pm.
Ilus Eesti, beautiful Estonia. My family's homeland. Estonia's countryside and people have an endearing gentleness about them which you fall in love with slowly and imperceptibly. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Estonians' courage and determination to survive despite centuries of repression, tyranny and foreign occupation. This blog aims to promote Estonian news, history and culture and seeks to enlighten readers about everything this unique country has to offer.
