Tallinn is once again taking part in the global Global Greening initiative, marking St. Patrick’s Day on 17 March by illuminating the posts at Freedom Square and Tammsaare Park in green.

As part of the celebration, the Tallinn TV Tower and Tallinn Song Festival Grounds will also be lit up in green.
 

St. Patrick’s Day is Ireland’s national holiday, celebrated around the world by nearly 70 million people of Irish descent, as well as by those who simply admire Irish culture. The day is marked with parades, festivities and global celebrations, including the Global Greening initiative, where landmarks such as the Empire State Building, Great Wall of China, Cheops Pyramid, and Niagara Falls are lit up in green – symbolizing support for and connection with Irish heritage.

Tallinn first joined the Global Greening tradition in 2018, demonstrating its appreciation for Irish culture and the warm ties between Estonia and Ireland.
