Estonian holidays, festivals, cultural events
The concert venues in each of the Estonian towns range from churches to clubs and theatres.
Every year, the festival organises a charity concert called Help Bring Life, with the proceeds going to the children of
Pelgulinna Maternity Hospital. This year, Hedvig Hanson, James Werts and Andre Maaker and his band are performing
traditional Christmassy songs with the Estonian Radio Children Singing Studio on 9 December.
