Viljandi Song Festival Grounds

Viljandi Song Festival Grounds on Talli Street are an important venue in the town for outdoor events and song festivals. Concerts, song and dance festivals and other community events take place here. The grounds are also linked to the history of Estonia's restoration of independence: next to them stands a memorial stone dedicated to a Popular Front demonstration. Viljandi has a special bond with the song festival tradition, as the song “Koit”, written for the local Koit society, has become part of Estonia's nationwide song festival culture. The grounds can be visited outside events as well, but separate entry and ticket rules may apply during events.
