Kes aias?
The Valga Museum’s folklore festival "Kes aias?" ("Who’s in the Garden?"), held on July 6, 2024, focused on gardening, as the name suggests.
Gardening has been highly valued in Valga for decades—annual competitions for the best home garden are still held today, and similar contests have taken place in earlier times as well.
The folklore festival on July 6 offered a variety of activities: Kristiina Kikkas led a workshop, "Secrets of Garden Art," during which participants visited one of Valga city’s beautiful gardens. In the afternoon, flower arrangements and wreaths were made in the museum courtyard, and a flower hat demonstration was given.
The theater group Rukki Narrid presented the play "That Genuine Estonian Thing," which told the story of friends meeting in a park to share the latest news. They were joined by Heldur, who heard some news he had never known before.
For dancing and enjoyment, music was provided by the local band Spirea and Marju Länik—who has roots in Valgamaa and was awarded a lifetime achievement prize this year—along with her fellow musicians.
