President Alar Karis hosts Independence Restoration Gala, inviting esteemed guests

On August 20, 2021, the annual Rose Garden festive reception took place in Kadriorg Park, marking the 34th anniversary of the Restoration of Estonian Independence, a significant national holiday. The event was hosted by President Alar Karis and First Lady Sirje Karis.

The reception was attended by key figures in the restoration of Estonia's independence, guardians of the freedoms won, as well as state representatives, figures from culture, education, and science, noted sportspeople, diplomats, people from the media and business worlds, and other promoters of Estonian life. Among the guests, President Alar Karis and First Lady Sirje Karis were present, but the search results do not provide specific information about other prominent personalities present at the event.

For those unable to attend the event physically, the live-streaming of the proceedings was made available on the website's Facebook page and another platform named X. The live-streaming was also available on our website's Estonian-language news portal, which was live from the Rose Garden (Roosiaed). The editors of the news portal were Annika Remmel and Andrew Whyte.

As per tradition, the head of state addressed the Estonian people and the guests with a speech during the reception. The event served as a celebration of Estonia's independence and a reminder of the hard-won freedoms that the nation continues to cherish.

The live-streaming of the event allowed viewers to follow the proceedings from the comfort of their own homes, making it accessible to a wider audience. This year's Rose Garden reception was a testament to Estonia's commitment to democracy and its dedication to preserving its independence.
