Folk calendar events

Long summer nights are the time to be with your friends, sing and dance and find love.

At the museum you can have your party following the theme of magical Midsummer Eve, colourful Mary Day and cheerful Setu Party.

These events are interesting to tourists also, because they teach something new about Estonian folk culture in an entertaining way.


  • Midsummer Eve

Also Saint John’s Eve. Saint John was a fairy of farmers and old Estonians believed that on Midsummer Eve he comes on the ground to bless the fields. Midsummer Eve is magical, good time for healing people, telling the future and finding a treasure – either the love of your life or a pot of gold.

We will celebrate Midsummer Eve at the swing grounds with a bonfire. Party host will teach you, how to make sauna twigs to have a healthy sauna session and flower chaplets to dream about the love of your life in the night. Folk musician is playing nice folk songs and everybody is welcome to dance.

  • Mary Day

There are four Mary Days in Estonian folk calendar and they are all women’s holydays.  Women cannot work on that day, they have to relax and have fun. On the Mary Day in August women used to collect plants for colouring, because then the colours are most shiny.

At the swing grounds the party host will talk about herbs and teach you how to colour yarn with plants, also how to make healing sauna twigs. Folk musician is playing nice songs on the background.
