Leigo and music by the lake
The festival’s history began in 1998 with an open-air concert by Tallinn Brass on an island. From 2006 to 2015, jazz, folk, indie and pop, as well as theatre performances, complemented the classical music. Leigo thus represents a combination of performances and a carefully designed lake landscape.

Running events on the Leigo grounds
For the Leigo Trail on 26 July 2026, the organiser described a circular course of around 17.68 kilometres, mostly through forests and across fields, as well as along farm tracks and forest paths on the Leigo estate. The longer course was considered challenging, with uneven terrain and technically difficult ascents and descents.
This description concerns an event course. It does not mean that the route is freely accessible for walking at all times. If you are planning a sporting break, check the current programme and access arrangements with the organiser.
