St. Georges Day, April 23 marked the beginning of spring work in farms. In the times past, Estonians would perform various rituals on this day to ensure cattle’s good health. To repel wild animals, especially wolves, bonfires were lit during the night.
At the swing grounds there is live folk music playing and hot tea served. We will light a bonfire, make old toys and play games. Horse and carriage ride and the village swing are also waiting.

In Estonian folk calendar the Walpurgis Night was celebrated as the birthday of the land, custom was to make bonfire, ring bells and make noise in general.
