Come and sell at Tallinn's Old Town Days

At the Tallinn Old Town Days in early June, some reorganizations and changes are expected, which this year's traders must also take into account. Since the location of the main stage has also been moved to Harju street this year, trading will take place on a smaller scale on Niguliste street and Ed.Vilde square.

When shopping, preference is given to domestic goods and handicrafts - all that special stuff that you just can't get from a supermarket. Since there are fewer trading places this year, the Government of Tallinn City Center takes the right to make choices regarding the range of goods (in particular, we choose different groups of goods, we exclude amber products, as there are several shops in the vicinity of our trading place in the old town, which offer the said goods, etc.).

The district government predictably apologizes to all traders who do not turn out to be chosen this time.

  • Acceptance of applications starts on 10.04.2024 and ends on 10.05.2024. Subsequent applications will not be processed.
