The XXXV West Coast Estonian Days – Lääneranniku Eesti Päevad

The EANC is a proud sponsor of this event!

Welcome to the 35th Lääneranniku Eesti Päevad – West Coast Estonian Days!

Seattle is excited to share the extraordinary and breathtaking beauty of our home in the Pacific Northwest as we join our hands, hearts, and voices to celebrate Estonia culture at the Seattle LEP2022.

Since 1953, West Coast Estonians have met to sing, dance, and reconnect with old and make new friends. Lääneranniku Eesti Päevad or LEP, is our festival of everything Estonian.

During LEP2022 we will call the Suquamish Clearwater Resort and Casino our home. The Clearwater, located on the shores of the Agate Passage, is just a short, scenic ferry ride from Seattle. The ferry crosses Puget Sound and you arrive on the traditional lands of the Suquamish Tribe.

Tere tulemast 35-le Lääneranniku Eesti Päevadele!

Oleme väga elevil ning ootame põnevusega kõiki meie koju Seattlesse, et Teiega jagada Vaikse ookeani loodeosa erakordseid ning hingematvaid paiku ja loodust. Käsi, südameid ning hääli liites saame koos tähistada Eesti kultuuri LEP2022 ürituse raames. Alates 1953. aastast on lääneranniku eestlased saanud kokku, et laulda, tantsida ja kohtuda vanade ning uute sõpradega. Lääneranniku Eesti Päevad või LEP2022 on festival, mis tähistab kõike, mis on Eestiga seotud.

LEP2022 ajal saab meie koduks Suquamish Clearwater Puhkemaja ja Kasiino. Clearwater asub Agate Passage’i kallastel ning on Seattlest vaid lühikese maalilise praamisõidu kaugusel. Praam sõidab üle Puget Sound’i ning viib meid Suquamishi hõimu traditsioonilistele maadele.

Jälgi meie Facebooki ja veebilehte, et viimaste uudiste ning infoga kursis olla. Ootame Teid LEP 2022 – Lääneranniku Eesti Päevadele!
