Student Days, Tartu
Revelry (late-Apr/early-May)
Long considered the perfect occasion for really letting one’s hair down, the Tartu Student Days (tudengipaevad), involve two weeks of drinking, feasting and fancy dress before and around May 1.
Attractions range from role-reversal events (professors serving students coffee and pancakes) to outdoor pop-rock concerts and a rubber-boat regatta on Tartu’s Emajõgi river.
