In December, 2024, Interreg Europe published a detailed overview of the Porikuu Festival (Mud Month Festival). This festival, held in October in Estonia, aims to address the uneven distribution of tourist arrivals throughout the year by attracting visitors during the off-peak season. It showcases local culture and traditions, providing a unique experience that diverts tourists from crowded hotspots. The initiative is part of broader efforts to promote sustainable tourism and regional development.
