Seto Easter

Let's celebrate Easter together with rolling eggs at munaloomka, a specially built sand construction in different villages. After a long lent, we’ll sing and dance again and eat well. Guests are welcome to join us!

Dear guests, we welcome you to explore Seto Easter traditions and share the joy of the holidays on May 5th from 10:00 to 17:00! Please note that the timings vary by village (see below), and special arrangements are possible for groups.

If you plan to come with more than 10 people, we would greatly appreciate it if you could let us know in advance (by May 1st). This way, we can better prepare for your visit.
