📍 Church of St. Anthony, TIVAT | May 9, 2026 | 8:00 PM

The square in front of the Parish Church of St. Anthony in Tivat will once again become one of the most beautiful stages of WindFest this spring. Following last year’s unforgettable evening, the Klapa Evening returns in an even richer edition, bringing together klapa ensembles from several Montenegrin cities in a setting overlooking Tivat and its waters, giving each note a special charm.

Klapa singing is an essential part of Boka’s local identity and intangible cultural heritage — a blend of Mediterranean spirit, harmony, and emotion passed down through generations. For this reason, the evening holds a special place in the WindFest program and is eagerly anticipated by audiences.

The program is organized by the Bokelian Association of A Cappella Musicians and Sailing Club Delfin. Although relatively young, the association has gained strong recognition across Montenegro and the region for its dedication and quality.

This year’s edition gathers ten klapa ensembles from Tivat, Kotor, Budva, Nikšić, and Podgorica, presenting a diverse program of female, mixed, and youth groups performing both traditional and contemporary arrangements.

Participating ensembles include:

• Female Klapa Aanderba Satis – Nikšić
• Mixed Klapa Anderba Kantores – Nikšić
• Female Klapa Fiori – Tivat
• Female Klapa Fiorellini – Tivat
• Female Klapa Incanto – Kotor
• Female Klapa Belezza – Tivat
• Mixed Klapa Camerton – Podgorica
• Female Klapa Bisernice Boke – Kotor
• Mixed Klapa Jadran – Tivat
• Female Klapa Harmonija – Budva

The evening is conceived as a meeting of generations and towns, celebrating togetherness and harmony under the open sky. Guests will also enjoy a glass of wine and light refreshments in the spirit of Mediterranean hospitality.

Within the setting of the Church of St. Anthony — one of Tivat’s recognizable landmarks — klapa singing once again confirms its power to connect people, preserve tradition, and celebrate the identity of Boka.

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.

Pine – 23 May – 21h

In a blend of tradition, youth, talent, experience, and endless love for music, the concert “Musica e” under the baton of Prof. Nevila Klakor will bring together musicians of different generations. They will perform a classical and popular program, featuring a series of musical surprises and a variety of rhythms and genres.

St Anton church, Tripovici – 10 May – 20h

In collaboration with the Association of A Cappella Musicians Tivat, founded with the goal of promoting klapa music as a segment of the authentic intangible heritage of Boka Bay, we present the Evening of Klapa Songs at the plateau of the Church of Saint Anthony in Tripovići, featuring three exceptional vocal ensembles – klapas Jadran, Camerton, and Incanto.

The plateau of the Church of Saint Anthony is one of the locations we return to from festival to festival because we want to popularize this beautiful viewpoint as a meeting and socializing place, as well as an exceptional open-air stage for organizing appropriate cultural programs.

This year, we look forward to an evening of great sound, delicious homemade delicacies, and a glass of wine, all with the aim of ensuring that everyone enjoys the atmosphere and the lively setting, while remembering how much we enjoyed the music.

Museum & gallery Tivat – 9 May – 20h

The partnership between the Adriatic Artists Association of Maritime Photographers and the Public Institution Museum and Gallery Tivat continues, bringing us another exhibition inspired by the sea and the rhythm of life at sea as part of Windfest.

The collective exhibition “Maritime Crafts” is the result of an internal competition organized for Windfest 2025. This international artists’ association proudly gifts it to Tivat as the eleventh joint exhibition in Montenegro and Croatia over the course of 12 years of activity.

“Maritime Crafts,” as the central theme of this year’s festival, provided an inspirational foundation for the artistic responses of talented amateur and professional photographers in the form of figuration, allegory, or abstraction. Their works answer the question: what are the sea’s tasks, the work of the sea itself, and all of us who sail, swim, or dive in it?

The selection is curated by the Group Council, composed of professional photographers Vilma Matulić, Jasmina Skroza, Dragan Lopušina, and academic painter Boris Dragojević, a hyperrealist and maritime artist.

The “Maritime Crafts” exhibition will be displayed on two gallery levels at the Museum and Gallery Tivat. The grand opening is scheduled for Friday, May 9th, at 8:00 PM.
