Table Of Contents
The Festival Series returns to the Estonian capital, Tallinn, for the second time in 2026, but this time around it is the full Festival experience. In July, there was a highly successful Festival Weekend, but between November 20-29, The Festival returns to Tallinn with a massive schedule of tournaments.
One of the reasons for The Festival's continued popularity is the affordable buy-ins combined with an almost unrivaled variety of poker variants and formats. On which other tour can you battle in a No-Limit Hold'em Main Event, play Pot-Limit Razz, suck out during Sviten Special, and even have tournaments for blackjack, roulette, slots, and sportsbook aficionados?
The Festival Tallinn Full Schedule
Expanding the table below reveals the full schedule for The Festival Tallinn in all of its glory. Be warned: it is substantial, with more than 70 tournaments over 10 days of non-stop poker action.
The €555 buy-in The Festival Tallinn Main Event is the series' showpiece event, and one that should see the poker room at the Olympic Park Casino packed to the rafters. It was in 2022 when this event last ran in Tallinn. On that occasion, Eirik Kristiansen of Norway outlasted 551 opponents and received €56,100 of the €264,960 prize pool.
Online Satellites Are Still Available
Those wishing to lock in seats and packages before traveling to Tallinn for The Festival Series can attempt to turn a small investment into such things online at many poker sites.
If OlyBet is available where you are located (Estonia, Finland, Latvia, and Lithuania), there's a €22 buy-in satellite every Thursday at 9:00 p.m. CET that has 3x €200 side event tickets guaranteed.
Half an hour later, a €55 satellite begins, with 2x €555 Main Event tickets waiting to be won.
Many other iPoker Network sites offer the chance to win an €1,850 package. These include bet365, Grosvenor Poker, and Red Star Poker.
Get your hands on one of these packages to receive:
- Six nights at the Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel from November 23-29 or nine nights at Hampton by Hilton Tallinn (including breakfast) from November 20-29
- 1x €550 Festival Main Event seat (for the NLHE or T.O.R.S.E.S)
- 1x The Festival Cap
- 1x €250 cash in your account for expenses
- 1x Hospitality package
This is the final Festival Series stop of 2026. Players don't have long to wait for the first event of 2027, however, because The Festival Series Bratislava is scheduled for February 8-14.
Bratislava is where it all began back in 2021, so it is fitting to return there for the first 2027 stop. Several of The Festival Tallinn events have €1,600 Bratislava packages added to their prize pools. Good luck securing one of those.
