And, just in case anyone wondered - 60,000 Estonians is just shy of 5% of the population. (Assuming that Estonian-speaking Estonians are over-represented at this event, and given that almost a quarter of Estonia's population are ethnic Russians, this event probably gathers some 6-7% of the Estonian-speaking population!)

  I think the 60k includes just the visitors, not the choirs and dancers, which is around another 30k.
