The event will begin immediately after the last Dance Festival performance from 21:00 -01:00 at Fotografiska (in the hall on level 1), which is located in the Telliskivi district, next to the Old Town.

Narva was a very beautiful city before World War II. With its baroque old town, its cultural life and its people, it was a true Nordic gem. It was a city of trade and merchants, factories and workers. A border town, where you could hear Estonian, Russian and Swedish spoken on the streets. What became of this Narva? What happened on 6 and 7 March 1944? Who made the decisions to bomb Narva and raze it to the ground, replacing the unique historic buildings with only memories of them? The city was reduced to ashes by a sea of fire and became a pile of building rubble. But who were the people who lived in Old Narva and what were their stories?

The most glamorous event of the XIII Global Estonian Days ESTO 2025 “Together” – the ESTO Gala Evening with dinner and dancing will take place in Tallinn’s Seaplane Harbour on July 2 from 19:30
