OutSkirts Concert

📍 Ponta Seljanovo, TIVAT | May 23, 2026 | 6:00 PM

The youth band Outskirts, operating under the umbrella of the Youth Center Tivat, brings fresh energy to this year’s Wind Fest, which proudly grants them one of the most beautiful stages in Boka – Ponta Seljanovo.

Formed just over a year ago, the band has gone through various phases to grow into a stable and dedicated group of young musicians united by their love for music and collective creation. Their sound is rooted in the classic rock of the 60s and 70s, with influences from bands like Led Zeppelin and Fleetwood Mac, yet enriched with their own signature style and generational freshness.

Outskirts consists of talented young performers: Milijana Jarić (vocals), Ognjen Šuškavčević (drums), Marina Ričagova (piano and backing vocals), and Matija Pasković (guitar), led by guitarist Aleksandra Zejak. Their repertoire is developed through collaboration and mutual agreement, with a special focus on energy, emotion, and adapting the sound to each band member.

Performing at the Wind Fest marks an important step forward for them and an opportunity to present their music to a wider audience.

Come and support the new generation of musicians and feel the energy of Outskirts – this might just be where their great musical journey begins.

Blue Classroom

📍 JK Delfin | May 22, 2026 | 10:00

For everyone who already lives for the sea — and those just about to fall in love with it — we’re opening our doors for “Blue Classroom – Open Day.”

Right here at home, on the pier and inside the club, visitors will get a taste of life with the sea: through sailing, stories, and the rich maritime spirit of Bay of Kotor that we proudly carry forward.

From 10 AM to 2 PM, you’ll be able to watch our sailors in action as they prepare their boats and head out to sea in the Optimist and ILCA classes. The youngest visitors can step into a boat, grab the ropes for the first time, and feel what sailing is all about.

Alongside the presentation of the upcoming Sailing School season, the experience will be enriched with eco talks and film screenings.

Hosting the day are not only our youngest sailors, but also generations of Delfin members — sharing achievements, memories, and the spirit of a club celebrating 75 years of life by the sea.

Special guests include environmental organizations and educational institutions, bringing focus to marine protection and the importance of sailing — not just as a sport, but as a living cultural heritage.

🎬 Film program:
“Vjetar od Boke” and “Tivat – a Town of Good Winds” by Dušan Vuleković — stories of the club and the Festival vjetra, a platform uniting the community around the sea, its values, and the authentic spirit of Tivat and Boka.

And this summer, JK Delfin continues its Sailing School from mid-June to the end of August in Seljanovo — while Blue Classroom gives kids and visitors the chance to feel the vibe, meet the crew, and maybe take their first step into the world of sailing.

Exhibition Sail & Fly

📍 Cultural Center “Nikola Đurković”, Kotor | May 14, 2026 | 20:00

As part of the Windfest 2026, a solo exhibition Sail & Fly – Boka Kotorska by academic painter Ivana Bjelica will be presented in Kotor. This exhibition continues a project that began at the Maritime Heritage Museum in Porto Montenegro as part of Ocean Race Boka Bay 2025.

The Sail & Fly cycle explores the meeting of sea and air—the space between the horizon and the sky—where sailing becomes a metaphor for flight and inner freedom. This chapter focuses on the Bay of Kotor, its mountains reflected in the sea, boats in silence, historic towns such as Kotor and Perast, and the light that shapes the landscape and creates a sense of timelessness.

Through paintings, drawings, and prints, the artist transforms recognizable motifs into her own visual poetics, exploring the interplay of light and shadow, reflections, and depth. The exhibition builds upon her previous cycles Mediterraneo and Depths, continuing her long-term exploration of the symbolism of water and its inner meaning.

Sail & Fly is conceived as a traveling project—an exhibition that will, in the coming years, “sail and fly” from place to place, continually exploring the nature and culture of each environment in which it is created, and translating that experience into a new artistic chapter.

Tivat Regatta UNA Montenegro Cup

📍 Sailing Club Delfin, TIVAT | April 26, 2026 | 11:00 AM

As part of WindFest, on Sunday, April 26, 2026, the 21st Tivat Cruiser Regatta UNA Montenegro CUP will take place — one of the longest-running and most recognizable cruiser regattas in Boka Bay.

For more than two decades, the Tivat Cruiser Regatta has gathered sailors from Montenegro and the wider region, maintaining its traditional format and distinctive course that has made it unique within the waters of Boka Bay.

The regatta starts off Ponta Seljanovo, after which the fleet sails around the island of Our Lady of Mercy and the island of Sveti Marko, continues through the Ralo strait, and then heads toward and around the islands near Perast. The finish line is once again set at Ponta Seljanovo, completing an attractive and demanding course that connects nearly all the key maritime points of the inner bay. This route gives the regatta its distinctive character while testing the tactical skill, endurance, and seamanship of each crew.

As in previous years, a strong turnout of cruisers across various classes is expected. The UNA Montenegro CUP once again remains more than a sporting competition — it is a gathering of sea and sailing enthusiasts and a central part of WindFest, dedicated to preserving the culture of life by the sea and promoting Boka Bay as an exceptional sailing destination.

The regatta documentation is available at the following link.

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.
