In the city of Haapsalu, the White Lady Festival is held every year within the territory of the ancient Episcopal castle. The White Lady is a famous Estonian ghost who appears in August on the wall of a chapel during a full moon. Various displays turn the city into a huge fairground as a lot of events take place from dawn to dusk. From sunset, a theatrical performance with the same name is organized in the castle area. Many sacred fires are lit on the shores of the Baltic Sea on a last August night. This is an old Estonian holiday called The Night of Ancient Lights.
