Saturday August 15th 2026, 9 PM to 12 PM

On the Night of Meteors countless lanterns are lit in the Old Yard, as we enjoy the soft August night and watch the shooting stars together.

As the August nights get darker, the lanterns are lit on the Riimukivi Historical Farm to celebrate the end of the Summer Season. The Old Yard is magical by firelight, delicious treats are roasted on open fire and hot beverages are steaming on the fire table. ​

​At the Riimukivi Farm city lights do not overshadow the brilliance of the starry nights. Even though the sky does not get fully dark until late August, the warm summer night is a great time to watch the meteor showers and admire the summer night sky before the winter constellations take over the night sky.

​

August Meteor Showers

The second week of August coincides with the peak of the largest meteor shower, the Perseids. At the same time, the Delta Aquariids and Kappa Cygnids add their streaks of light to the sky, and it is possible to see up to 60 shooting stars per hour.

​

Make yourself Comfortable

Bring your own blanket, camp chair, or sleeping pad, so you can comfortably lie on the lawn gazing at the sky. ​Remember that the night might get chilly even if the day is warm.

​

You can also bring your own travel mug, if you prefer to avoid disposable cups.
