06 July 2026 – 12 July 2026
Not sure where to be this week? Every week, in partnership with Gamma, we present a hand-picked selection of the five most compelling events taking place in and around Tallinn – it’s time to plan your week with purpose.
Uus Laine Summer Tournament
Uus Laine, Kopli 4, Tallinn
Tuesday, 7 July, from 7pm
The Uus Laine Summer Tournament is back for its sixth edition, giving you and your overconfident group chat another chance to prove that all those late-night arguments about pop culture were not entirely wasted.
Expect five rounds covering pictures, general knowledge, music, pop culture and a mystery round, which is either thrilling or faintly terrifying, depending on where your knowledge tends to desert you. Teams can include one to six players, with a bar tab for the winners, prizes for round winners and proper rewards for the overall top three.
Cheating is punishable by death, a rule the organisers have presumably not yet tested, but seem admirably committed to as a deterrent.
Remember to create your team and reserve your table.
Board Games & Gaming Consoles
Yo Mana Gamers’ Home, Pärnu mnt 125, Tallinn
Wednesday 8 July, from 6pm
Yo Mana’s Board Game Night takes place every Wednesday, and the premise is gloriously simple: a night packed with more than 100 board games, plus access to a PS5, PS4 and Nintendo Switch, all in the company of a properly enthusiastic gaming crowd.
Participation costs €5 in cash, which is a pretty modest ask for however many hours you end up staying and however many games you convince yourself you still have time to play.
Multi-Language Exchange Fridays
Rukis, viru 11, Tallinn
Friday, 10 July from 6pm
The Language Exchange Meetup is a casual, self-directed evening for anyone who wants to practise a language with an actual human being rather than an app, or a judgemental owl.
The format is pleasingly low-pressure: make a name tag with your name and the languages you speak or are learning, find someone whose tag catches your eye and start chatting. Not quite ready to speak yet? Listening to a language you are working on is entirely valid and warmly encouraged. And if someone joins your conversation to do exactly that, keep talking rather than switching to English out of politeness.
Miss Baltics & Mrs Baltics 2026 Official Afterparty
G-Spot Bar (Gin Spot Bar for Ladies), Telliskivi 60, Tallinn
Saturday, 11 July, from 10pm
The Miss Baltics Afterparty takes over G-Spot Bar straight after the Grand Final, when the particular electricity of a newly placed crown tends to carry well into the early hours.
The official celebration is open to everyone and entirely free, bringing together the queens, finalists and contestants of Miss & Mrs Baltics 2026 from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania for a night of music, dancing and glamour.
G-Spot Bar, one of Tallinn’s most glamorous gin bars, is owned by one of the contestants, making it a fittingly fabulous venue for an evening that has every intention of being memorable.
Irish Trad Live Music
Kennedy’s, Pikk 13, Tallinn
Sunday, 12 July from 1pm
Sunday Irish Trad Sessions at Kennedy’s are exactly what a Sunday afternoon ought to be: live traditional Irish music, no stage, no fuss, just real tunes and good company to carry you gently towards the end of the week.
Bring yourself, bring a friend and bring an appetite for a proper pint.
