Hello
We are sending one more reminder regarding the catering for the Tartu Song Celebration, so that all groups can place their orders by Wednesday (15.05).
Also, we would like to remind everyone that changing registration details ends on the same day, and after that, it will not be possible to modify the number of participants.
Soup options and prices
- We offer two types of soup: with meat and without (not canned soup).
- The price of one soup serving is 5 euros.
- Since the day is long, you can also order multiple soups.
How is the soup price calculated?
Several people have asked why there is a 5-euro fee for soup at the Tartu Song Festival when soup is usually free for singers. There are several reasons for this.
Firstly, it is important for us to organize the song celebration sustainably and reduce food waste. Pre-ordering food helps participants plan their meals throughout the day and filters out those who might leave their soup uneaten. We hope that by having participants pay for their meals, they will also be more motivated to consume them, leaving us with minimal food waste that needs to be discarded.
The soup price is calculated based on the projected number of eaters and the catering fee for providing fresh soup throughout the day (not canned soup). Additionally, the entire infrastructure for catering must be organized (food tent, tables and chairs, electricity, etc.) along with those ready to distribute food throughout the day.
Ordering soup
- To order soup, please fill out the form on the Tartu City Portal: https://linnaportaal.tartu.ee/laulupeosook
- The group leader gathers the number of eaters (singers, conductors, escorts) and reserves the corresponding amount of food. If any participants want multiple soups, these repetitions should also be added to the total number.
- After filling out the form, an invoice will be sent, and once payment is made, the order will be confirmed.
- The form is open until May 15th. If food is not pre-ordered, soup cannot be purchased on the day of the song celebration.
Catering tent
- The catering tent is open on June 22nd from the 10:00 to 20:30. Everyone has time during the day to enjoy soup leisurely.
- Soup will be provided based on a voucher.
- Similar to the audience area, only reusable dishes are used in the catering tent. Participants do not have to pay a deposit for the dishes, but they must return them immediately after eating at the catering tent.
What’s more
- In addition, there are numerous venders on the audience area of the song celebration who offer food and drinks starting from the beginning of rehearsals.
- Drinking water is available both in the performers’ area and in the audience area of the song celebration. Please bring your own cup or bottle for convenient water consumption.
