The Nordic-Baltic-Eastern European countries are pleased to host the 2025 Feast of Tabernacles in the Estonian capital city, Tallinn. This city is on the edge of the Baltic Sea—just fifty miles from Helsinki across the Gulf of Finland. The host venue, Park Inn by Radisson Central Tallinn is just a ten-minute walk to the ferry dock. It is also is within easy walking distance of the well-preserved tourist destination—Old Town Tallinn—a medieval walled city built in the 13th century. Average October daytime temperatures are a moderate but pleasant 50° Fahrenheit (10° Celsius).
English is widely spoken, although downloading the Google Translate app on your cell phone is a good plan.
Services
Church services are in English. The Feast meeting hall is in the second floor conference room of the Park Inn hotel. The church services for the Day of Atonement and the weekly Sabbath service prior to the Feast will also be held in the second-floor conference room of the Park Inn Central Tallinn.
Dining
Park Inn by Radisson Central Tallinn offers a buffet breakfast with the room for UCG attendees. Several optional group dinners are planned at the hotel with numerous other opportunities to explore local dining.
Housing
The hotel is next to the restaurant district where many ethnic foods are offered. Staying at the Park Inn is encouraged and increases fellowship opportunities.
Activities
We plan to have a bus tour of significant points of interest as well as a walking tour of Old Town Tallinn.
Travel
The Tallinn airport has connections to many cities in Europe. Baltic Sea ferries offer trips to/from Sweden, Finland, Latvia, Poland, and other countries. Car rental is not needed because taxis are readily available—and the use of BOLT (an economical Uber-like service) is everywhere. Public transportation (buses and trains) is readily available.
Registration
Because of the size of the meeting hall and overflow room, there is maximum capacity of 80 people. Be sure to get your registration in early. Questions may be directed to the Feast coordinator Tim Martens by calling (417) 612-9125 or emailing EstoniaFoT@gmail.com.
