On 24 February at 8.19 p.m. (20.19 on the 24-hour clock), the Estonian Independence Day will be celebrated with a national joint hug named ‘HUG at 20.19’, encouraging Estonians to congratulate each other in honour of the Independence Day. The tradition of the joint hug began on the 100th birthday of Estonia, when people hugged each other at 8.18 p.m. (or 20.18).
