At the Mulgi festival, visitors can experience the Mulgi culture first hand. The first half of the day is filled with mini-concerts and performances in cultural nests, many of which you can actively participate in and learn delightful Mulgi dances or jokes.

Apart from the cultural nests, the festival day offers a variety of activities for both the young and the old. In the festival area, there will be a traditional crafts fair where you can enjoy authentic Mulgi cuisine and receive valuable tips on how to prepare these delicious dishes. Visitors are welcome to participate in workshops and take on Mulgi challenges, there is also a petting zoo for the little ones in the family to enjoy. Literature and art enthusiasts are not left out either, as there is an art programme and a book nest designed specially for them.

The Mulgi festival culminates with the spectacular concert performance that adds a contemporary twist to the traditional Mulgi culture. Dancers, singers, soloists and a folk music orchestra will take the stage. The concert performance tells a story of hope, love and support that is given and needed by our close family members as well as those who share the same cultural space with us.

During the festival, the esteemed Taul family of Mulgimaa will take the stage, joined by the renowned accordionist Rasmus Kadaja, up-and-coming young talent Isabel Palu, kannel instructor Heidi Höövel and the male artist of the year, Stefan, who will make his debut singing in the Mulgi dialect. The festival band comprises Indrek Mällo, Marvin Mitt, Kristo Joosep and Themuri Sulamanidze.
