Tallinn’s second annual Bun Fest is now underway, with over 40 caf\u00e9s and bakeries across the Estonian capital selling traditional “vastlakuklid” between January 15 and Shrove Tuesday (February 17).<\/p>\n
According to Evelin Tsirk, head of the tourism department of the city’s business service, Tallinn Bun Fest gives both locals and visitors even more reason to enjoy Tallinn’s caf\u00e9 culture during the winter season.<\/p>\n
“Bun Fest is an initiative through which we want to bring more life and movement to the city during the winter season by inviting people to discover the capital’s caf\u00e9s in January and February. Our caf\u00e9 culture is a strong part of the city’s identity, and Bun Fest helps to highlight this.”<\/p>\n
Tsirk explained that unique culinary experiences are one of the most important reasons people choose a travel destination. “The goal is to keep growing Bun Fest so that it becomes a clear reason to visit Tallinn during the winter,” explained Tsirk.<\/p>\n
In Estonia, Shrove Tuesday traditions remain vibrant \u2013 and enjoying delicious Shrove Tuesday buns (vastlakuklid) is a time-honored way for families, friends, and colleagues to come together.<\/p>\n
