Tartu 2024 grand opening on Emajõgi River speaks of unity

Tartu's Emajõgi River and its banks have been dramatically transformed for the first week of the European Capital of Culture year. The opening event "All is One!" is about the connections between people, places and eras. At the centre of the story is Tartu: the real and the idealistic, dreaming of the future and remembering the past.

 
A spectacular live show took place on the banks of the Emajõgi River last night, followed by a parade to the Estonian National Museum for an after party that lasted well into the morning. ERR News covered the celebration last night. You can watch highlights of the night here.
