Europe’s leading street sports and culture platform “Ghetto Games” invites everyone to experience the most athletic festival of the summer in Estonia’s capital, Tallinn, on July 12–13. For two days, Freedom Square in the city center will be transformed into a vibrant arena for street basketball, street football, dance and fight shows, as well as contests and various activities. The festival is organized in collaboration with the Tallinn City Government and will bring together participants from over 10 countries.

"Ghetto Games” will be visiting Tallinn for the third year in a row, strengthening long-term cooperation. In 2023 and 2024, activities took place at the picturesque Estonian Maritime Museum, but this year the location is even better – Freedom Square.

“Sport speaks all the world’s languages, and we’re glad to see the scale of Ghetto Games growing in Tallinn every year. While previous years focused more on amateur categories, this time, due to the larger space, we are offering the best of the international scene. Thanks to the City of Tallinn, the event is free to attend, promising thrilling shows and emotions for the audience and a true international challenge for players,” says Ghetto Games leader Raimonds Elbakjans.
