The Tallinn Fringe Festival is Back; And We’re Going All Out!
It’s that magical time of year again! From August 18 to September 18, Kalamaja becomes the beating heart of non-stop entertainment as the Tallinn Fringe Festival takes over the city.
At Heldeke!, we’re bringing you a month packed with comedy, cabaret, live performance, social sauna sessions, and craft drink events across both our theatre venue on Tööstuse 13 and our bottle shop at Volta 32.
Whether you’re in the mood for a late-night laugh, a cozy spirit tasting, or an uninhibited burlesque showcase, here’s a peek at what’s in store.
At Heldeke! Theatre-Bar (Tööstuse 13)
Our intimate theater stage will be lighting up almost every single night with an eclectic mix of local talent and international fringe performers:
