Independence Day parade

After Estonia regained its independence, the tradition of parades of the Estonian Defence Forces on Estonian Independence Day has been restored, as is the custom in many countries. This year, the parade of the Defence Forces of the Republic of Estonia, celebrating the 106th anniversary of the country's independence, will take place in Tallinn, on Vabaduse Väljak square. As usual, the Independence Day celebrations begin with the ceremonial hoisting of the flag at the Tall Hermann Tower on Toompea during sunrise. Independence Day as the most important holiday in a country usually reflects the anniversary of the establishment of national independence.
