Tivatska regata UNA Montenegro Cup

đź“Ť JK Delfin, Tivat | 26. april 2026. | 11:00h

U okviru Festivala vjetra, u nedelju, 26. aprila 2026. godine, biće održana 21. Tivatska regata krstaša UNA Montenegro CUP, jedna od najdugovječnijih i najprepoznatljivijih regata krstaša u Boki Kotorskoj.

Tivatska regata krstaša već dvije decenije okuplja jedriličare iz Crne Gore i regiona, zadržavajući isti format i prepoznatljivu rutu, po kojoj je postala jedinstvena u akvatorijumu Boke Kotorske.

Start regate je kod Ponte Seljanova, nakon čega flota oplovljava ostrvo Gospa od milosti i ostrvo Sveti Marko, nastavlja jedrenje kroz tjesnac Ralo, a potom ide do i oko ostrva pred Perastom. Cilj regate je na Ponti Seljanova, čime se zatvara atraktivna i zahtjevna ruta koja povezuje gotovo sve ključne morske tačke unutrašnjeg zaliva. Ovakva trasa daje regati poseban karakter, istovremeno testirajući taktičko znanje, izdržljivost i vještinu posada.

Kao i prethodnih godina, očekuje se učešće značajnog broja krstaša različitih klasa, a UNA Montenegro CUP i ove godine ostaje više od sportskog nadmetanja – susret zaljubljenika u more i jedrenje, i ključni dio Festivala vjetra, manifestacije posvećene očuvanju kulture života uz more i promociji Boke Kotorske kao atraktivne jedriličarske destinacije.

Orthodox Celts Concert

đź“Ť Ponta Seljanovo, TIVAT | May 23, 2026 | 10:00 PM

The main headliners of the evening are Orthodox Celts — the legendary Serbian folk-rock band founded in 1992 in Belgrade, known for its unique blend of traditional Irish melodies and energetic rock rhythms.

Mala tivatska regata Gadbois CUP 2026

📍 JK Delfin, TIVAT |  24 & 25. april 2026. | 11:00h

U okviru Festivala vjetra 2026, 24. i 25. aprila, u akvatorijumu Tivatskog zaliva biće održana Mala tivatska regata Gadbois CUP, tradicionalno takmičenje namijenjeno mladim jedriličarima i jedriličarkama.

Mala tivatska regata već godinama ima posebno mjesto u kalendaru proljetnih regata, jer okuplja djecu iz jedriličarskih klubova Crne Gore. Regata je prepoznata kao događaj koji, pored rezultata, u fokus stavlja učenje, druženje i razvoj ljubavi prema moru i jedrenju.

TakmiÄŤenja će se odrĹľavati u klasama Optimist I ILCA, a regatno polje u Tivatskom zalivu ponovo će se ponovo potvrditi  kao idealan prostor za nadmetanja u malim klasama brodova – pregledan, zaštićen i istovremeno dovoljno izazovan za sticanje novih jedriliÄŤarskih znanja.

Mala tivatska regatta Gadbois CUP nosi snažnu simboliku podrške razvoju mladih sportista i jedrenja kao dijela lokalnog identiteta, a održavanje regate u okviru Festivala vjetra dodatno naglašava povezanost sporta, edukacije i kulture života uz more.

Organizator regate je Jedriličarski klub Delfin, uz podršku Richard and Frances Gadbois Foundation, partnera Festivala vjetra i crnogorske jedriličarske zajednice. Mala tivatska regata i ove godine ostaje podsjetnik da se budućnost jedrenja gradi upravo na ovim startnim linijama – strpljivo, posvećeno i s pogledom ka pučini.

Koncert Bajaga & Instruktori

đź“ŤRiva Pine, Tivat | 25. april 2026. | 21:00h

Kad se more smiri pred veče, a proljećni vjetar donese onaj osjećaj da je „vrijeme da se krene“, Festival vjetra otvara svoje peto izdanje na najljepši mogući način – koncertom Bajage i Instruktora, 25. aprila u 21 sat na gradskoj rivi Pine u Tivtu.

U ambijentu mora, brodova i svjetala rive i luke, pjesme koje decenijama spajaju generacije dobijaju posebno značenje. Jer Bajagina muzika oduvijek pripada otvorenom prostoru – ulicama, trgovima, obalama. Onim mjestima gdje se lako prepoznamo u stihovima o slobodi, putovanjima, ljubavi i malim, ali važnim životnim izborima. Mjestima gdje „more zna“ i gdje se živi sporije, ali punije.

Otvaranje Festivala vjetra koncertom Bajage i Instruktora simbolično spaja ono što je srž ove manifestacije – more kao inspiraciju, kulturu života uz more, i ideju da se sport, edukacija, kultura i zabava ne nadmeću, već nadopunjuju. Dok jedra čekaju povoljan vjetar, a festivalski programi tek počinju, muzika će podsjetiti da su i radost, zajedništvo i emocija dio tog istog pejzaža koji pokušavamo sačuvati.

Na Pinama će te večeri biti mjesta za sve – za one koji su uz ove pjesme odrastali, i za one koji ih tek otkrivaju. Za one koji vjeruju da se „dobro drži more“ kad ga dijelimo, i da je proljeće pravi trenutak da se ponovo zaljubimo – u muziku, u grad, u obalu pred nama.

Festival vjetra počinje koncertom koji obećava veče za pamćenje.

Vidimo se 25. aprila na Pinama – tamo gdje pjesme susreću more, a vjetar nosi priču dalje.

Small Tivat Regatta Gadbois CUP 2026

đź“Ť Sailing Club Delfin, TIVAT | April 24 & 25, 2026 | 11:00 AM

As part of WindFest 2026, on April 24 and 25, the waters of Tivat Bay will host the Small Tivat Regatta Gadbois CUP, a traditional competition dedicated to young sailors.

For years, the Small Tivat Regatta has held a special place in the spring regatta calendar, bringing together children from sailing clubs across Montenegro. The regatta is recognized as an event that places learning, friendship, and the development of a love for the sea and sailing at its heart, alongside sporting results.

Competitions will take place in the Optimist and ILCA classes, while the regatta field in Tivat Bay once again confirms its reputation as an ideal venue for small-boat racing — clear, sheltered, and sufficiently challenging for gaining new sailing knowledge.

The Small Tivat Regatta Gadbois CUP carries strong symbolism in supporting the development of young athletes and sailing as part of local identity, while its place within WindFest further highlights the connection between sport, education, and the culture of life by the sea.

The regatta is organized by Sailing Club Delfin, with the support of the Richard and Frances Gadbois Foundation, partners of WindFest and the Montenegrin sailing community. The Small Tivat Regatta remains a reminder that the future of sailing is built right here, along these starting lines — patiently, with dedication, and with eyes set toward the open sea.

Adriatic Artists Exhibition – “People of the Sea”

đź“Ť Museum and Gallery, TIVAT | May 17, 2026 | 8:00 PM

Sailing Club Delfin, in cooperation with the Adriatic Artists Association of Visual Artists and the Public Institution Museum and Gallery Tivat, proudly announces the fourth international photography exhibition within WindFest 2026, titled “People of the Sea.”

Artists from the eastern Adriatic coast, brought together by Adriatic Artists, are looking forward to meeting again in Tivat and presenting their visual interpretations of life by and with the sea. The association currently gathers over 100 talented photographers and visual artists, while the association’s council will select 30 photographs through an internal competition to be presented to the public.

The exhibition will be displayed across two gallery levels, allowing visitors to enjoy carefully selected works over 15 days. The photographs explore the people, stories, and traditions of coastal life, blending art, heritage, and Mediterranean identity while strengthening the cultural dimension of WindFest. “People of the Sea” offers the audience a chance to experience a visual story of Adriatic life through the artistic lens of some of the region’s most creative photographers — and to connect, through photography, with the tradition, labour, and beauty of the coastal world.

Debate: Defending Vrmac and the Final Days

đź“Ť Gornja Lastva, TIVAT | May 16, 2026 | 7:00 PM

A Conversation on a Landscape Between Protection and Pressure

Sailing Club Delfin, in cooperation with the Cultural and Heritage Association Napredak Gornja Lastva, is organizing a public discussion titled “Defending Vrmac and the Final Days,” to be held on Saturday, May 16, 2026, at 7 PM, at the Josip Marković Cultural Centre in Gornja Lastva.

The discussion will be moderated by journalist and civic activist Brano Mandić. The panel will feature experts who have spent years researching and advocating for the protection of the Vrmac area:

• Željko Starčević, mountaineer, archaeologist, and speleologist (Agency for the Protection and Development of Orjen)
• Aleksandra Kapetanović, conservation architect (Centre for Sustainable Spatial Development Expeditio Kotor)
• Dr. Miloš Petričević, archaeologist (Public Institution “Museums” Kotor)

Vrmac is an area of exceptional natural and cultural value, administratively divided between the municipalities of Kotor and Tivat. A Protection Study has already been prepared as the basis for declaring a Nature Park, and a public consultation has been conducted. Yet formal protection is still pending — despite the fact that, as experts point out, what is missing most of all is political will.

In the meantime, pressures are growing stronger, particularly those related to construction. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the Kotor side of Vrmac lies within the UNESCO-protected area of Kotor, while the Tivat side falls within its buffer zone. The discussion will also address recent amendments to the Law on the Kotor Area, which more precisely define obligations related to spatial protection.

This is an opportunity to remind the public of Vrmac’s values — its rich natural heritage, archaeological sites, fortification legacy, and landscape integrity — while opening an honest conversation about the challenges and responsibilities of institutions and the community. Free shuttle van transport will be provided for all interested visitors, from Tivat town centre to Gornja Lastva. After the discussion, participants and guests will be welcomed to a special gastro experience “Heritage in the Pot,” along with a fitting music program in the spirit of Gornja Lastva’s atmosphere and tradition.

Maritime Crafts

đź“Ť Pine Waterfront, TIVAT | May 15, 2026 | 4:00 PM

For the third year in a row, the Pine waterfront will spend a full day in the familiar bustle of maritime trades and seaside know-how. On Friday, May 15, 2026, from 4 PM to 8 PM, Pine becomes a meeting place for sailors, fishermen, divers, craftsmen, artists, and everyone whose work, inspiration, or everyday life is tied to the sea.

Maritime Crafts is imagined as an open fair and a living showcase of the sea community — from boat engines, nets, and ropes, to contemporary and traditional crafts that shape Tivat’s identity as a town turned toward the sea. Special attention is given to the development and strengthening of the local crafts offer, recognized as an important economic opportunity for small and medium-sized businesses within the community.

The fair is organized by Sailing Club Delfin, in cooperation with the Tivat Business Info Centre. Thanks to this partnership, Pine will host a representative group of exhibitors with sales, informational, and educational stands, alongside presentations of their products and services. Visitors will have the chance to speak directly with exhibitors, learn more about their work, and discover both modern and traditional “sea” professions and skills.

Veterans’ Regatta

đź“Ť Sailing Club Delfin, TIVAT | May 10, 2026 | 11:00 AM

As part of WindFest, Sailing Club Delfin once again organizes the Veterans’ Regatta — a sporting event celebrating decades of experience, sailing knowledge, and a lifelong love for the sea.

The Veterans’ Regatta has become a distinctive segment of WindFest, gathering sailors whose dedication and achievements have shaped the history of sailing in Tivat and across Boka Bay. It is both a competition and a meeting of generations, where former rivals cross sails once again while strengthening the sailing community.

The regatta will take place in the waters of Tivat, with the starting signal at 11:00 AM, while participants will gather earlier that morning at the premises of Sailing Club Delfin.

Intended for veteran sailors, the regatta blends competition with a friendly atmosphere where experience and instinct for the wind come fully into their own. The event promotes an active life by the sea, preservation of maritime tradition, and intergenerational connection through sport.

The Veterans’ Regatta reminds us that sailing is not just a sport — it is a way of life that endures.
