Estonia hosted the XXVIII Song Festival, known as 'Iseoma,' a traditional cultural event that draws massive participation and spectatorship. The festival featured approximately 30,000 singers from 990 choirs performing before an audience of nearly 90,000 people, including 70,000 spectators noted in some reports. The event, held in Tallinn, included road closures and public transport changes to accommodate the large crowds. The festival, which has been held every five years since 1896, played a historical role in Estonia's peaceful independence from the Soviet Union during the 'Singing Revolution.' This year's festival continues to celebrate Estonia's cultural heritage and unity amid contemporary challenges. The main concert was widely covered, with live broadcasts and galleries showcasing the performances.
