Estonian Flag Day

Tomorrow, on 4th of June you should hoist the Estonian tricolor!
It is the official flag day and the simplest way to participate in this day activities is to hoist your Estonian flag of your home. But if you are living in the flat then you might not be the person who deals with the flag- for you it is possible to go to Toompea at 7 o'clock in the morning and be part of the flag hoisting there. Or if you live near Pärnu, then at 6 o'clock in the evening there will be a flag ceremony, where they will bring out 90 Estonian flags. Afterwards there should be even an open air stage and some entertainment. As the weather is turned out so good it is a great way to have a little relaxation in Pärnu- see the flag ceremony and go to the beach or just walk on the evening beach promenade, as it is very beautiful at evenings.
And as I was looking from the web some Estonian flag pictures I stumbled on to a very nice blog- Bounteous bites. Here you can see all kinds of recipes for very interesting and also tasteful foods. How is this fitting into the flag day?-Well the host of the blog Evelin has made a very nice and patriotic cake there, what absolutely suits for the flag day. So check out the recipe and celebrate the flag day with inviting friends over to eat the Flag.
