West Coast Estonian Days 2026 – LEP Festival Pass Now On Sale!

For over 70 years, the festival has brought us together – especially from the Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver Estonian communities – to sing, dance, and share our love for Estonian culture and language. This June, we invite Estonians, Estonian-Americans, and friends of Estonia based anywhere in the world to join us in the City by the Bay for a meeting to celebrate the innovative and resilient spirit that unites us across generations.

The LEP Festival Pass is now on sale 

The pass (www.lep2026.com/tickets) will give you entrance to all events at the West Coast Estonian Days from Friday, June 28 to Sunday, June 30 – three fully packed days of song, dance, film, talks, networking, workshops, exhibits, the opening reception, folk festival, and more in San Francisco.

(The Gala Concert is a separate ticket. Transportation to the folk festival is also sold separately.)

As organizers, we are dedicated to bringing you an event that will feed you and connect you, with as many experiences as we can offer – we hope you will take advantage of this best price and join us in San Francisco.

As we prepare for an unforgettable West Coast Estonian Days in San Francisco, we’re pleased to share that the winner of the LEP 2026 logo contest is Kaupo Kangro.

In the words of the designer, “Laulmine kui kogukonnasisese suhtlemise üks osa on eestluse sümboliks. Kultuuri osa, mis hoiab meid! Logo alaservas, laulukaare all, istuvad ja laulavad 2 suitsupääsukesest. Eesti rahvuslinnud sümboliseerivad pikka rännakut ja kodukoha armastust. Viitavad eestlastele, kes kodumaast kaugel elades meie kultuuri ja eestlust elus hoiavad.”

Kangro is an experienced designer, who also designed a new coin to be issued by the Bank of Estonia later this year. We are so grateful to have his design and the concepts behind it as the face of LEP 2026, and grateful to all the artists who offered their submissions.
