Starting from 2005, Tartu City Government gives each small citizen of Tartu a silver spoon decorated with the coat of arms of Tartu. The spoon is given at a special reception in the Town hall auditorium.
The receptions are held once a month in the Town hall auditorium and children between 7–8 months old are invited. As a rule, the silver spoon is presented by the mayor of Tartu.
Families who are not able to attend the reception can receive their silver spoon from the Town hall information center (phone 736 1343) within a year from the date of the reception.
A silver spoon is given to a child whose place of residence is marked as Tartu city six months after the child’s birth in the Estonian population register. (According to the Population Register Act § 42 p 1, together with the information on the medical birth certificate or birth entry, the place of residence of the newborn is entered to the population register according to the place of residence of the mother that is entered to the population register).
The next event takes place on 25 March. Little ones born in June of 2023 are invited. The event takes place in the auditorium of Department of Population Facts
