A gigantic sand sculpture that stands strong even in winter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Estonia and also across country borders, T\u00f5rva has become famous for its annual sand sculptures. This year, media was filled with photos of the five-meter sand sculpture built on the central square of T\u00f5rva, which depicts Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as part of the world-famous New York Statue of Liberty. In support of Ukraine, a roof and a protective layer have been added to the sand sculpture to stand strong through the winter! In addition to Zelenskyy’s sand sculpture, an entire Freedom Park was created with a large-scale photo exhibition and eye-catching sand art.<\/p>\n\n\n

Freedom Park received another addition at the beginning of winter – a tank of sand that was defeated in battle and being pulled by a Ukrainian tractor was transformed into a children’s slide and climbing hill. This winter, among other events, the world’s biggest drum set will arrive to the central square. T\u00f5rva parish is part of the European Capital of Culture, Tartu 2024, program which revives the legendary and also Estonia\u2019s largest open-air spectacle of fire, water and music, T\u00f5rva Loits (The Spell of T\u00f5rva).
