A singing nation

Estonia has always been a singing nation and we hold the largest singing festival in the world in every 4 years. It is every young singers dream to participate at least in one Laulupidu (singing festival). The singing festival is connected with dance festival, so once in every 4 years the Estonian capital Tallinn becomes one big singing and dancing city with events all over the city. Singing tradition is very important to our culture and the event has been added to UNESCO cultural heritage list. We have specialized singing stages in almost every small town and village and we have a specially designed one that accommodates 30000 singers at once and over 100000 spectators. We are the country that literally sang us free from soviet occupation.
