Bajaga & Instruktori Concert

📍 Pine Waterfront, TIVAT | April 25, 2026 | 9:00 PM

When the sea calms toward evening and the spring wind brings that familiar feeling that it is time to set off, WindFest opens its fifth edition in the most fitting way — with a concert by Bajaga and Instruktori on the Pine waterfront.

In the setting of the sea, boats, and glowing marina lights, songs that have connected generations for decades take on a special meaning. Bajaga’s music has always belonged to open spaces — streets, squares, and shorelines — places where we recognize ourselves in verses about freedom, journeys, love, and life’s small but meaningful choices.

Opening WindFest with this concert symbolically brings together the essence of the festival — the sea as inspiration, the culture of coastal living, and the idea that sport, education, culture, and entertainment complement one another. While sails wait for favourable winds and festival programs begin, music reminds us that joy, togetherness, and emotion are part of the same landscape we strive to preserve.

That evening, Pine will have space for everyone — those who grew up with these songs and those discovering them for the first time. WindFest begins with a concert that promises a night to remember.

Small Tivat Regatta Gadbois CUP 2026

📍 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.

The regatta documentation is available at the following link.

Maritime Crafts

📍 Pine Waterfront, TIVAT | May 15, 2026 | 08:00

Tivat’s Pine waterfront will once again, for the third year in a row, become a vibrant meeting point with the sea and everything it represents. As part of the Wind Festival, on Friday, May 15, the Sea Skills & Maritime Crafts Fair will take place — a full-day event celebrating tradition, knowledge, and contemporary ways of living by the sea.

The Maritime Crafts Fair brings together sailors, fishermen, divers, artists, and craftsmen, as well as everyone whose work, inspiration, or daily life is connected to the sea. Through an open fair and a dynamic accompanying program, visitors will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of sea-related professions — from nets, ropes, and boat engines, to both modern and traditional crafts that shape Tivat’s identity as a town deeply oriented toward the sea.

The fair segment begins in the morning and runs throughout the day, featuring exhibitors with sales, educational, and promotional content. In cooperation with the Tivat Business Info Center, special attention is given to the development of the craft sector and strengthening the local economy, through the presentation of small and medium-sized enterprises and their products and services.

Alongside the fair, a rich program for all generations will take place. The day begins with authentic demonstrations of fishing activities, such as net hauling and pier fishing competitions. The youngest visitors can enjoy performances, creative workshops, and entertainment, while all guests can take part in “Sea Games,” artistic activities, and musical content throughout the day.

In the afternoon and evening, the program is further enriched with a gastro segment and the educational program “Sea Topics Without Dilemma,” which also carries a humanitarian aspect, along with live music performances and a DJ program.

The event is organized by the Tivat Business Info Center, in partnership with the Tivat Tourist Organization, while the concept and execution are led by Tamara Krstović. The Maritime Crafts Fair represents a blend of tradition, knowledge, and community spirit, affirming the sea as an endless source of identity, inspiration, and development for the local community.

Debate: Defending Vrmac and the Final Days

📍 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.

📍 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.”

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.

Urban Downhill Race

📍 Skaline, HERCEG NOVI | May 24, 2026|10:00 AM

This year’s Wind Festival brings a strong adrenaline segment with the Urban Downhill race in Herceg Novi, taking place on Sunday, May 24, as the festival’s final sporting event.

Following previous editions held on the slopes of Vrmac, the WindFest Downhill Race is moving this year into the urban setting of Herceg Novi, where its distinctive stone staircases will become a dynamic race course. The start is planned at Španjola Fortress, with the route leading all the way down to the Škver city port, passing through the Old Town and the main square by the Clock Tower. The track is approximately 1.3 kilometers long, with runs lasting around three minutes.

The race will be held in a downhill format, with two to three practice runs, followed by qualifications and the final race scheduled for the afternoon. The course is technically accessible, opening the door for a larger number of local competitors, as well as riders from the region — participants are expected from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and beyond.

An additional level of quality is brought by the support of partners and sports organizations — the Durmitor Cycling Club as co-organizer, the Cycling Federation of Montenegro, as well as the Herceg Novi Triathlon Club, which will be responsible for timekeeping. Support from the Red Bull brand has also been confirmed.

The program begins on Friday, May 22, with a mini event on the pump track in Igalo, while Saturday is reserved for an exhibition event in Borići on Dizarica — a ride through forest trails developed by the local community, aimed at promoting and supporting the further development of off-road cycling trails in the Bay of Kotor.

Sunday’s race represents a fusion of sport, speed, and a unique setting, turning Herceg Novi into a stage for a top-tier adrenaline spectacle. After the competition, the program continues with music and socializing, concluding with an afterparty at Cafe Radio.

The organization of the event is supported by the Municipality of Herceg Novi, the Sports Center, and the Herceg Novi Tourist Organization, further confirming the event’s significance on the regional map of sports and festival happenings.

The event starts with a gathering at Škver at 9:00, with the first transport of competitors scheduled for 10:00.

ZOSTER

Pine – 25 April – 20h

Prije 25 godina nekoliko mostarskih muzičara okupilo se iz potrebe da odreguju na ambijent u kojem rastu. Imali su što da kažu, imali su što da pokažu. Imaju i danas. Potvrđuju to brojni hitovi koje su nam, sa promjenama muzičkog sastava, darovali kroz pet studijskih albuma. Od kojih je četiri snimano u mostarskom studiju „Baraka“.

Nameću se spojnice sa pričom JK Delfin i razlozima nastanka Festivala vjetra. Naš je klub potekao iz barake, koja je bila nedaleko od današnje zgrade Delfina. A Festival vjetra nastao je iz potrebe da kaže i pokaže- da je riječ o društvu koje je mnogo više od malog sportskog kluba, da je riječ o osnovnoj pomorskoj školi i posvećenom čuvaru morske kulture života bokeškoga čovjeka. Stoga s velikim zadovoljstvom Festival vjetra 2025 započinjemo uz Zoster.

Čekamo te, ako jesi i ako nisi naš „Sugrađanin“. Dimila bura 25.aprila, ili „Ojužilo“, „Sve čega nema“ manji je problem kada „Čovjek želi da je ptica“. Možda naša misija jeste „Utopija“, ali dosta je- „Ko je jamio, jamio“, jer od nas sve zavisi. „Čovjek zvani činjenica“ spasiće „Brod koji tone“. More ne mora, ali mi se u pamet moramo, da se ne bismo pitali „Kuda idu svi ti ljudi“.

Mi smo „Imači kada“. Naše je „Srce uzavrelo“. Dobro nam došli na četvrto izdanje Festivala vjetra.

IZLOŽBA FOTOGRAFIJA ADRIATIC ARTISTS “MORSKA POSLA”

Muzej i galerija Tivat – 9 Maj – 20h

Partnerstvo Udruženja jadranskih fotografa Adriatic Artists i JU Muzej i galerija Tivat se nastavlja kako bi nam u okviru Festivala vjetra 2025 poklonili još jednu izložbu fotografija inspirisanu morem i morskim ritmom života.

Kolektivna izložba „Morska posla“ rezultat je internog konkursa organizovanog povodom Festivala vjetra 2025, koju međunarodno udruženje umjetnika sa zadovoljstvom daruje Tivtu kao jedanaesto zajedničko izlaganje u Crnoj Gori i Hrvatskoj tokom 12 godina djelovanja.

„Morska posla“ kao generalna tema ovogodišnjeg festivala bila je inspirativna podloga za umjetnički odgovor talentovanih amatera i profesionalnih fotografa u vidu figuracije, alegorije ili apstrakcije kao odgovor na pitanje što su to sve morska posla, posla mora samog i svih nas koji njemu plovimo, plivamo ili ronimo.

Selekciju potpisuje Savjet grupe koji čine profesionalni fotografi Vilma Matulić, Jasmina Skroza, Dragan Lopušina i akademski slikar Boris Dragojević, hiperrealista i marinista.

Izložba „Morska posla“ će biti postavljena na dva galerijska nivoa JU Muzej i galerija Tivat. Svečano otvorenje zakazano je za petak, 9.maj, u 20 sati.
