Happy Restoration of Independence Day! Head Taasiseseisvumispäev!

Today, Estonians across the globe celebrate the 34th anniversary of the restoration of independence. In 1991, after enduring fifty long years of Soviet occupation, Estonia finally restored its statehood. It was a deeply cherished longing in the heart of every Estonian and today we celebrate our country's freedom, never taking it for granted.

The beloved blue, black and white national flag will be raised on all commercial, government and office buildings today and will also be proudly displayed in every Estonian home. 

The city of Tallinn will mark the restoration of Estonia's independence with a variety of events that can be found here. Elagu Eesti!
