Pärnu—best known as Estonia’s ‘summer capital’—serves up a charming, concentrated burst of Christmas spirit each December.
For three days, Independence Square fills with huts selling hand‑crafted gifts, seasonal bakes and hot drinks, while a small stage hosts carols and local performers. It’s an intimate market that’s easy to explore between warming café stops, with the Old Town’s pastel façades providing a pretty backdrop. Families will appreciate the friendly programme and relaxed pacing; travellers will find it fits neatly into an Advent weekend itinerary along Estonia’s coast. Expect a welcoming atmosphere, traditional flavours and a photogenic tree to frame your festive snaps.
