It has been a year that brought us all together to share our experiences - in Tartu, Southern Estonia and Europe. Culture is a never-ending journey, our opportunity is to continue this journey. Tartu 2024 final celebration “Jää ja loo" symbolises persistence and further creation, but also looks to the future. Let’s get together again to celebrate culturally rich experiences with family, friends and loved ones.

On Saturday, 30 November, we invite everyone to the Tartu 2024 final celebration "Jää ja loo". At 7pm, 8pm and 9pm, a 15-minute light show takes place at Pirogov Park, which tells the story of culture, people and moments that filled Tartu and Southern Estonia in 2024. Between the light show at 7.20-7.50pm and 8.20-8.50pm, Curly Strings will perform at Tartu Town Hall Square.

From 9:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., dance enthusiasts can join us for an open-air rave in Pirogov Park. Goldie, who is known as an actor ("James Bond: The world is not enough" and "Snatch"), as an artist, as well as a musician and producer, who has songs with artists from David Bowie to Noel to Gallagher will hit the stage. Just like at the Tartu 2024 opening ceremony, DJ Heidy Purga and Eero and Rene Oliver Muiste (Sound In Noise x Olivar) will take the stage during the crisp November party night. Eero Muiste is a musician and producer who tirelessly keeps Estonian dance music open to the international scene.

The event is free. You can find more information here: https://tartu2024.ee/en/lopupidu/

The Tartu 2024 light show will be repeated on Sunday, 1 December, when the first Christmas lights will be lit on the Tartu Town Hall square.

We will publish accessibility information in the near future.
