Ethnicity Day is a cultural holiday celebrated in Estonia on the third Saturday of October. This day is dedicated to Estonia’s unique language and cultural identity, national culture, and the day when Estonians think about other Finno-Ugric nations, introduce their languages and cultures, and speak of their problems. The holiday was approved by the Estonian parliament in 2011. Ethnicity Day showcases Estonia to the world, promotes tourism in the country, and boosts the economy.
