I am contemplating going to Estonia after seeing a movie last night about all their music festivals. Can someone tell me if they have music festivals every year or are they staggered? What are the best music festivals to attend? I love baroque music and the music of the country. I don%26#39;t particularly enjoy opera or organ music. Also, are you better off flying into Tallinn and then taking day trips or starting from another country and going to Tallinn for a few days?
Thanks.

There is an annual song festival, and this is probably what you%26#39;ve heard about.

Whether you fly direct or not depends on your economics and logistics. It may be beneficial to fly to Helsinki (Finland) as Finnair occasionally has some great offers. Helsinki is only 50 miles from Tallinn. Fares vary a lot, so shop around and check out alternative routes.

The major song festival is held every 5 year I believe. There is one this year, and the next one is 2014.
From the page John provided, the following dates are given:
XXV Song Celebration / XVIII Dance Celebration , July 2-5, 2009
XI Youth Song and Dance Celebration, July 1-3, 2011
XXVI Song Celebration / XIX Dance Celebration, July 4-6, 2014
XII Youth Song and Dance Celebration, June 30 - July 2, 2017
XXVII Song Celebration / XX Dance Celebration , June 28-30, 2019
As shown, there are other festivals, like the youth festival in other years. As well, there%26#39;s other festivals not shown on the list.
