In addition, there will also be a glamorous red carpet party in Tartu, which has not been done before at Eesti Laul. Vihmann added on that:

As far as she knows, the intermediate clips of Eesti Laul will also be Tartu-themed.
According to Karmel Killand, head of experience programmes at the Estonian Public Broadcasting, the national broadcaster has a proud feeling of being in the city.
“Where else, if not in Tartu – in the newly formed European Capital of Culture to start choosing Estonia’s representative for Eurovision. But of course, all year long in our channels, we also take all other interesting events to homes in Southern Estonia.”
The evening will be led by Grete Kuld and Tõnis Niinemets.

After two Semi-Finals and a Grand Final, Eesti Laul 2023, the selection process for the next Estonian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest, has just finished.
The big winner of the evening was Alika with the song “Bridges” , who will travel with the Estonian flag to Liverpool.
The Participants:
The presenters of the evening were Grete Kuld and Tõnis Niinemets, and the evening took place at Saku Suurhall in Tallinn.
In today’s Grand Final, twelve songs competed to represent Estonia in Liverpool.
Meelik opened the final of Eesti Laul 2023. They are using a black and white effect for their performance until the third chorus. They have a well thought-out performance.
Janek will follow up Inger with a powerful ballad. His performance for the grand-final is simplistic unlike his semi-final one. There are multiple videos during his performance that show him in a room full of confetti.
Elysa was one of the two wildcards. She is accompanied by three dancers that were dressed in red and black. She will not be among the strong vocalists tonight.
The red colour continues to prevail in m els’ performance. She starts her performance from the front of the stage and ends up on a high platform. She’s a present performer and a good vocalist.
After Bedwetters’s bombastic performance, Andreas sings an ethereal ballad accompanied by a female dancer. Low lighting prevails. Not many changes from his semi-final performance.
Alika is accompanied by a piano that has the illusion of being played on it’s own. She’s dressed in white. One of the best vocalists from this Eurovision season.
Mia follows Ollie’s energetic performance. She sings in Estonian while wearing a silver jumpsuit. She is accompanied by a pianist and a dancing couple.
Sissi will close Eesti Laul 2023. She is dressed in white for her Eesti Laul performance. Manages to stand out on her own and gave Alika a run for her money.
The Results:
The winner will be selected over two rounds of voting. In the first round, an international jury (50%) and public televote (50%) will determine the top three entries to proceed to the superfinal. The second round will be fully determined by the public televote.
