Martinmas and St. Catherine’s day
9th of November from 11 AM to 4 PM
November is the month of souls, when all the autumn farm work outside has been finished and masked characters go from door to door. These are noisy Mart guisers, who bring good luck for the next year’s harvest, and pretty Kadri guisers, who bring good luck for farm cattle. These guisers always get a great welcome because they add variety and bring fresh energy to mundane life. Besides, there’s always plenty of fun where they are!
Why don’t
you dress up as well, come over to the Estonian Open Air Museum and go guising?
Do a ‘farm crawl’ from door to door with many games and riddles. You can meet
other guisers here and sing or dance together.
Admission to the event is free for Tallinn Card holders!
