Beer festival,

Every year in summer in Estonia we have tradition to have Beer festival. It starts on Wednesday and ends Sunday evening. It takes place in July only dates are moving. This year it took place from 8Th of July until 12Th of July. Place is always same, same ground as we hold just week before our big song festival.
This year it was hold already 16Th times. So small anniversary was hold last year, but by every summer seems, that people are waiting that festival, since during this 5 days people can enjoy good music, good beer and wine and of course a lot of good food. Several different food you can taste, since different kitchens introducing their food - can eat Indian food, Chinese food, Estonian food etc. Different areas with different games,dance, shows. There is a lot activity for children, young people as well elderly people. Always have been think ed well, so people can have really good time. Only this year the weather was party friendly, but weather cant be same, since all years are different as well as days, even thought it luckily did not rain constantly everyday.
This years main performances was Moby and Mumiy Troll, as well Sunday was our own international star Kerli. For me, after years, that was one summer when I did not went to the festival, and I must say i do not feel sad, since when I saw how many people there was, when I was glad.
Also has been mentioned that Cox news have chosen Õllesummer in top 5 beer festivals in Europe. Among Õllesummer was also mentioned of course biggest beer festival: Oktoberfest, but also was mentioned Cannstatti beer festival, Europe beer festival and Great British beer festival, so that should show how big our beer festival, here in Estonia is. Every time can hear different languages and see different nationalities and so on. It is nice time to spend couple of days in summer. Perhaps next year I will visit again :)
