Estonian folk costumes have been around for a long time, many families had even personal costumes that have been in their families for decades. While being patriotic and fashionable many designers have modernised the costumes and jewelry so that everyone can be fashionable and represent their country at the same time. Nevertheless new fashion has new prospects and traditional clothing/jewelry can lose its importance and truthful meaning (for example clothes having different patterns based on people living in different counties).

Although, National Song Contest has always been a tradition, not everyone prefers sticking to traditions. For example, Estonian punks have their own annual Song Festival. During this very festival national choirs perform punk rock songs. Punk subculture, originating from countries such as the US, UK and Australia, is a clear western movement adapted into our culture scheme.

On Shrove Tuesday one of the traditions also involves eating seven times a day. The dishes range from porridge to baked beans and barley. A special dessert for children was considered a boiled pig's tail.

An interesting custom from way back had to do with marriage. Leftover bones were named after maidens of the house and afterwards the dog was invited in. Whichever bone the dog chose, the girl whose name was on it was to get married.

Nowdays it is a tradition to eat buns with whipped cream and also pigs’ trotters with pea or bean soup.

The Mardipäev has been celebrated for centuries in Estonia, it marked the end of summer work and also the end of the time of souls.
On the eve of the Mardipäev, people dressed in costumes, visited other families and wished them good luck with crop and cattle.

Nowadays it is becoming more and more certain that this tradition is being followed, and perhaps even  replaced  by Halloween.

Particularly in cities, children will wear a costume on the last day of October and ask for a door to door: "Trick or treat?"

What are differences between those two holidays nowdays?

Women's Day was a public holiday in the Soviet Union. In the 90s in Estonia, the day was  treated with mockery and parodies.

However, at the end of the decade, the day became topical again. Once again, it is common to bring flowers to friends and colleagues.
