Green event: Youth Song and Dance Celebration TALLINN, ESTONIA
10 October 2025
TALLINN, the capital of Estonia, is a vibrant and diverse city with a population of 460 000 people, representing over 140 nationalities. Tallinn is known for its forward-thinking approach to public services, and the city offers free public transport to its residents, making it an environmentally friendly and convenient place to live.
Tallinn is an important promoter of the smart and circular consumption model and a creator of a system for circular products and services that support it. Tallinn operates resource efficiently by reducing primary material consumption, increasing waste recycling, and actively promoting reuse, providing businesses and residents with various opportunities to participate in the circular economy.
The Youth Song and Dance Celebration took place on 30 June – 2 July 2023, bringing together ca. 350 000 participants and visitors. Tallinn aimed to organise the festival with as small as possible ecological footprint, using local raw materials and resources, and educating public about waste during the event. The festival turned out to be a great success and now serves as the best practice for all future zero-waste public events in Estonia and beyond.
