Laulupeo (Laulupidu)
Song festival (one of the great events in the Estonian calendar). Try and imagine over 100,000 people all singing the same songs, mostly from memory, for hours on end. In comparison, a recent survey found that the average Brit knew 4.74 words ad nauseam of Auld Lang Syne. Rare in Tallinn, street hasn’t changed its name once since creation in 1921 (KNAB) although TAAK says it was built for the VIIth song festival in 1910, making it even longer. Singing means something to Estonians...
