University of Tartu 107th anniversary ball, Vanemuine Concert Hall

The anniversary ball of Estonia’s National University, 107 years old. Once again we invite the whole university family to celebrate the anniversary of the National University on 1 December.

With the annual ball we celebrate the Estonian language in higher education, since the first Estonian-language university was opened in Tartu in 1919.

Sadu headlines the ball. In addition to the headline performer, dance music will be played by the Tartu University Symphony Orchestra and Big Band Tartu. The University of Tartu Folk Art Ensemble teaches traditional dances to those who are interested.

The ball takes place in the Vanemuine Concert Hall. Doors open at 18:00, the party starts at 19:15.

Dress code: formal with patterns (black tie). There will be a Peninuki bar. During the evening you can capture joyful memories at the photo wall and in the photo booth, and take part in a raffle. The theme this year is “Patterns”.
