Tartu Song Festival Grounds, Concert venue and urban park in Tähtvere, Estonia.
The Tartu Song Festival Grounds is a performance venue and urban park featuring a stage designed for roughly 5,000 singers and seating for around 10,000 spectators on a one-hectare site. The layout combines this main performance area with additional recreational facilities.
The grounds reopened in 1994 with a major choral festival, marking a turning point for the region's musical performances and community gatherings. This event established a new foundation for ongoing cultural activities at the site.
The grounds embody Estonian choral traditions, where singers and audiences gather regularly to celebrate the region's musical identity through shared performance. The venue reflects how deeply song and community are woven into local life and values.
The venue is accessible year-round and offers a children's play area, skatepark, sports facilities, walking trails, and disc-golf courses alongside the main performance space. Visitors should plan according to the season and type of activity they wish to enjoy.
During winter, the grounds become a public ice skating area, while summer months attract international artists for performances. These seasonal changes give the site a completely different character throughout the year.
