Veganmess – Vegan Fair
Kultuurikatel, Tallinn
From Saturday, 18 October, to Sunday, 19 October
Veganmess, the Baltics’ longest-running and liveliest vegan lifestyle fair, is back for its 15th edition – and it’s serving up plenty of plant-powered inspiration. Expect a weekend packed with delicious food, thought-provoking talks, interactive workshops and a bustling market of vegan goodies. Whether you’re a lifelong vegan, a flexitarian in training or just there for the snacks, Veganmess is the place to eat, learn and hang out with like-minded food lovers.
Children aged 12 and under can enter the fair for free.
Language Cafe
Valukoja 8, Tallinn
Tuesday, 14 October, from 8:30 AM
International House of Estonia’s Language Café pops up every Tuesday and Thursday – a low-pressure hangout to practise your Estonian over a cup of something warm. Total beginner or just rusty? Pull up a chair. You’ll chat, pick up phrases, swap stories and skip the grammar drills. It’s friendly, relaxed and a handy way to boost your confidence while meeting people who are in the same boat.
International Dog Show
Unibet Arena, Tallinn
From Friday, 17 October, to Sunday, 19 October
Dog lovers, this one’s for you – the International Dog Shows are back for a weekend packed with paws, prizes and plenty of wagging tails. From rare breeds to familiar favourites, you’ll get to meet top dogs and the breeders who adore them. The rings kick off at 10 AM on Saturday and 9 AM on Sunday, with lively competitions and impressive showcases throughout the day. Don’t miss the grand finale: the crowning of “Best in Show” – the ultimate moment for every canine fan.
Tickets are €5 per day for visitors or €12 per day for families (two adults + two children) – a perfect outing for dog lovers of all ages!
Halloween Flea Market
The Krypt Spooky Bar and Stage, Pärnu 19, Tallinn
Sunday, 19 October from 3 PM
At The Krypt, Halloween isn’t just a holiday – it’s a lifestyle. Following last year’s hit debut, the city’s creepiest corner returns with round two of The Krypt’s Halloween Flea Market. Expect a delightfully dark bazaar of gothic fashion, eerie art, handmade oddities, vintage finds and all things spooky-chic. Whether your vibe is cute and creepy, moody and romantic or full-on horror glam, this is the place to revel in the weird and wonderful.
Tickets are free, but visitors are encouraged to register, so the organizer can better plan the event, while aspiring vendors can secure a table.
Sip & Shop Pop Up Sale
Imaginatix Studios, Pärnu 142, Tallinn
Saturday, 18 October from 1 PM
CICI is turning shopping into a party with its first-ever Sip & Shop event. Expect an afternoon of fashion, fizz and feel-good vibes – think handmade pieces at up to 70% off, tasty snacks, great tunes and glasses that never stay empty for long. And if you find something you love, CICI’s offering free on-the-spot alterations to make sure it fits just right. Bring your friends, sip, browse and soak up the stylish buzz.
