The festival featured 159 artists from 23 countries across a record 35 venues, selling more than 12,600 tickets — a rise of about 20 percent on last year, organizers say.

The festival also recorded its highest-ever pre-festival ticket sales, highest number of tickets sold, largest number of indoor performances and a record number of sold-out shows. Indoor performances achieved the highest average capacity rate in the festival's history.

Of the 159 featured artists, just under two thirds were international and a little more than a third were local Estonian acts.

The 2026 program brought a diverse range of international and local artists to Tallinn over exactly a month, August 18-September 18, featuring theater, comedy, music, circus, dance, cabaret, magic and more.

TFF operates an open-access format, meaning there is no central programming committee — artists and venues create the itinerary through their direct collaboration.

Next year's TFF is to run to exactly the same time-frame, August 18 to September 18 2027, at venues across Tallinn. More information is available on the festival's website.
