Every Advent Sunday at 6 PM, an Advent candle will be lit in Tartu’s town square to create warmth and celebrate the beautiful holiday season together.

On the fourth Advent, Deputy Mayor Raimond Tamm and Minister Ants Tooming from Tartu St. Peter’s Church will share their holiday greetings.

After the candle lighting, a special treat awaits: “Tähtede poole,” a magical light show by Kaili Viidas. This enchanting performance blends starlit astronomy with the charm of Estonian myths. It includes bits of Jakob Hurt’s “Eesti Astronoomia,” the folk song “Salme,” and the national epic “Kalevipoeg”.

The light show will be repeated at 7 PM and 8 PM.
