Events in Estonia from 23 to 25 January 2026: 40 ideas for the weekend

Üritused Eestis 23.–25. jaanuaril 2026 – suur ülevaade

The third weekend of January is surprisingly eventful. At the same time, Estonia is hosting major festivals, theatre performances in Russian and Estonian, a LEGO® art exhibition in Tallinn, family-friendly workshops, sound journeys, a hackathon in Pärnu, and a bus trip to Vilnius Light Festival.

Sellest artiklist leiad peaaegu 40 üritust ajavahemikul 23.–25. jaanuar 2026. Iga sündmuse juures on:

  • linn või piirkond

  • date / time

  • keel (eesti, vene, inglise või pigem visuaalne / muusika)

  • who it is suitable for (children, the whole family, adults)

  • toimiv link ametlikule infole või piletimüügile

See teeb artiklist praktilise „ürituste kataloogi“, mille järgi saab kiiresti kokku panna terve nädalavahetuse plaani.
