Tallinn Christmas Market (Estonian: Tallinna Jõuluturg) is a Christmas market held every year in Tallinn, Estonia. The modern market was founded in 2001 by Paul Oberschneider,[1][2] and is open from Christmas Day until Epiphany. The latter also marks the end of the Christmas season according to the Gregorian calendar. The market brings tourists from all over the world to Tallinn.
This is traditionally held on the old Town Hall Square. Christmas cabins and stands sell handcrafts, hot wine and souvenirs[3] to about 200,000 visitors every year.
