Celebrate Estonian song and dance traditions the way it should be done - outside! Our own laulu- and tantsupidu takes place in Marin County, at a location with a European village feel and gorgeous views.

Participating choirs include Noorus Segakoor, members of the Rotalia Meeskoor, and singers from the West Coast cities and Baltimore-D.C., led by Heather MacLaughlin Garbes and Crista Berryessa. We’ll celebrate Jaanipäev with cultural workshops, games, Midsummer Market, activities for the whole family, and the company of friends.
