As if to show how much they love their pagan roots, Estonians have made Jaanipäev, also known as St. John’s Day or Midsummer the single biggest holiday of the year, barring Christmas. Estonians celebrate the shortest night of the year by going to the countryside to light bonfires and drink beer. If you happen to be in Tartu that day, you can join the organised festivities at the Estonian National Museum. The Museum and it's Friends' Club have planned many fun activities in the manor park and on the shores of beautiful Lake Raadi, including folk music, bonfires, games and dancing.
