Estonian Independence Day, February 24, will see a necessarily different set of events from most years, due to the ongoing pandemic.
The traditional flag raising ceremony will still take place from just after 7.30 a.m. (i.e. sunrise), but the public are asked to stay home and hold their own flag-raising close family gatherings.
The ceremony, at the Governor s Garden on Toompea, adjacent to the Riigikogu, is being broadcast by ETV, as well as in Russian on ETV+, and on radio station Vikerraadio.
