Estonia Independence Day 2024

Google Dooles 23.02.2024 23:45  Date: February 24, 2024 Today’s Doodle celebrates Estonia’s Independence Day. On this day in 1918, the Estonian Salvation Committee officially declared the country’s independence. Each year, Estonians kick off their festivities with a flag-raising ceremony at the Pikk Herman Tower in the capital Tallinn. A crowd gathers to watch the blue, black, and white flag depicted in today’s artwork ascend into the sky. Afterward, a parade featuring the country’s Defence Forces marches through Tallinn’s Freedom Square. Later, the president hosts a reception and concert at the Estonian Theater and Concert Hall where the public enjoys traditional meals like kiluvõileib — an open-faced sandwich topped with a sprat filet. Estonians honor those who helped them earn their freedom and reflect on the future of their country. Happy Independence Day, Estonia! Location: Tags:
