The festival takes place at the beginning of July, and it's common for many Estonians to take the week off work and travel to Tallinn to join in the celebrations. Visitors from other countries converge in Tallinn to experience the powerful singing, lively dances and intricate, colourful folk costumes at first hand. If you're interested in seeing this spectacular live performance, or maybe even taking part in a festival, the next event happens in 2004, 2009 and 2013.

True independence was fought for in the following years, in the War of Liberation. Independence lasted until 1939 when a pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union was signed. Following the Soviet occupation in 1940, Estonia was occupied by Nazi Germany from 1942 to 1944. The Soviet Union incorporated Estonia in the autumn of 1944. A large proportion of the population fled abroad. Many others were arrested and deported to Siberia.

What makes it even more special is that, due to the small population of Estonia, there are less than million Estonian speakers and yet, a tenth of them attend the event. Long established song festival traditions are most likely the reason why Estonians not known for our pop- music or global musical prowess are still referred to as the "singing nation". Singing and songs have played a very important role in Estonian history. Songs were sung when cottagers tilled the manor land, singing sparked the "awakening" era in Estonia, our troops sang national songs fighting through the world wars and during the end of eighties, the Singing Revolution (which started right here on the Song Festival grounds) enabled us to regain our independence from the Soviet Union. The Estonian national collection of folk songs comes second only to Ireland. 2007, the first-ever punk-song-choir festival was organised in Estonia. In 2010 the first ever digital song festivalwas held in Estonia. Our

Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, Estonia declared independence from Russia on Feb. 24, 1918. Independent Estonia made large strides between wars. World War II ended Estonia's independence.

Although the country tried to restore its independence, it was incorporated as a Republic of the USSR. On August 23. 1989, Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians joined their hands to form a 530 km long Baltic Chain connecting the three Baltic capitals. The independence was restored on August 20, 1991.

In the northern side of the song stage there is the 42m high fire tower, which is used during the Song Festivals. Estonians gathered here at the Tallinn Song Festival Grounds to sing patriotic hymns in what became known as the Singing Revolution that overthrew the Soviet rule. Today, Tallinn's Song Festival Grounds are better known for hosting mega international acts, such as Metallica, and the contemporary dance music event, the Sundance Festival.
