Opinion Festival

On the second weekend of August, Paide becomes the heart of Estonia's opinion culture. The Opinion Festival brings together people united by the desire to think, discuss, and listen, whether they are local residents, entrepreneurs, politicians, students, or simply open-minded visitors.

The festival creates a special atmosphere where balanced discussion, democratic exchange of ideas, and free spirits intertwine. In the greenery of Paide's castle hill, hundreds of opinion leaders and listeners gather to discuss the future of Estonia and the world, covering topics from education and climate to technology, culture, and everyday life.

The Opinion Festival is not just words – it is an experience. At the festival, you wander from discussion area to area, participate in workshops, cultural programs, and enjoy good company. At the same time, you are welcomed by the small-town coziness, street food, and friendly atmosphere, making the festival experience in Paide unique. There is a children's area with a program for kids.

Come to Paide's Opinion Festival, where new ideas are born.

See you in Paide — in the heart of Estonia!
