Your Tallinn hit list: the top 5 events this week

19 October 2026 – 25 October 2026

Not sure where to be this week? Every week, in partnership with Gamma, we present a hand-picked selection of the five most compelling events taking place in and around Tallinn – it’s time to plan your week with purpose.

Make Immigrants Great Again Comedy Show

Ratas&Kohv, Uus-Veerenni, Tallinn

Thursday, 22 October, from 7pm

Make Immigrants Great Again is an evening of stand-up comedy about identity, culture shock, belonging and the absurdity of navigating the world when you are perpetually from somewhere else. Based in Copenhagen since 2024 and with a comedy career that started in Queens, New York in 2022, Miguel Aliaga brings Peruvian roots, American upbringing and a touring show that has already taken him through Vietnam, Poland, Austria, Germany and Denmark to Tallinn — each time finding himself in front of an audience that knows exactly what he is talking about, whether they admit it or not.

Tallinn Data Week: Closing Event

Pudel, Tallinn

Friday, 23 October from 5pm

Tallinn Data Week Closing Party is the official finale to a week of conferences and satellite events, held in Estonia’s first craft beer bar, open since 2013 in a former factory building in Telliskivi Creative City and the only bar in the Baltics serving traditional English cask ale. The evening is for swapping the week’s biggest takeaways, talking about where data and AI are heading next and catching up with the people you met during the week — or the ones you somehow missed. Entry is free, but registration is appreciated so the organisers know how many to expect.

Black Metal Saturday

The Krypt Spooky Bar & Stage, Tallinn

Saturday 24 October, from 10pm

Brace yourself for a night of black metal that earns its place in the Baltics’ only horror-themed bar. Saitma make their Estonian debut, travelling from Tampere with raw, old-school black metal driven by fierce battle chants and primitive riffs. Their releases include the Blizzard Tapes series and debut full-length Okta, out in October 2025 — a band whose atmospheric edge and uncompromising approach have been building a reputation well beyond Finland’s borders. Supporting are Tallinn’s own Bestia, active since 2000 and no strangers to The Krypt, whose pagan black metal draws from Estonian mythology and runemagick. Raw intensity and haunting melodies in equal measure, rooted in something older than the genre itself.

Halloween Burlesque Show

Chicago 1933, Tallinn

Saturday 24 October, from 6pm

The evening features a special guest from Australia, Ms. Roslyn Rogue, marking the first time an Australian burlesque performer takes the stage in Estonia. She’ll be joined by Finnish performer Lalux, Oh Ruby and Titi De Sweetie, with British stand-up comedian Josie Kikas-Booth hosting in English. Expect everything from playful, wonderfully bizarre acts to classic burlesque glamour, with three performance sets and two breaks. Guests are encouraged to dress up for Halloween, and the best costume will win a prize.

Halloween Flea Market

The Krypt Spooky Bar & Stage, Tallinn

Sunday, 25 October from 3pm

The Krypt’s Halloween Flea Market returns for its third edition, bringing a dark twist to the usual second-hand shopping. The venue will fill with clothing, jewellery, handmade creations, vintage finds, dark décor and all sorts of curious oddities. Whether you’re hunting for a Halloween outfit, looking for unusual accessories or simply enjoy a market with a gothic atmosphere, there’s plenty to browse. Entry is free, and all ages are welcome, although visitors are encouraged to register in advance. A little treasure hunting, with a side of spooky season.
