New Year’s Eve in Tallinn 2026/2027 – Club Parties, Balls & Open-Air

Welcome to New Year’s Eve 2026/2027 in Tallinn

Tallinn sees out 2026 and welcomes 2027 with a mix of free open-air celebration, a formal opera ball, dinner shows and club nights. On 31 December 2026 the city’s main countdown is at Freedom Square (Vabaduse väljak); hotels, theatres and clubs run dedicated programmes into the early hours of 1 January 2027. Many club tickets and dinner packages are only released in late autumn — check each venue’s official site closer to the date.
