Fairs in Tartu
Tartu holds a number of popular fairs every year. The fair season kicks off in May with the annual Spring Fair, followed by the Hansa Fair in July, which is one of the largest and most exciting fairs taking place in Tartu. In September, it is time for St. Mary’s Fair, and the Christmas Fair will take place during the holidays.
