U spoju tradicije, mladosti, talenta, iskustva i neiscrpne ljubavi prema muzici, koncert „Musica e“ pod dirigentskom palicom prof. Nevile Klakor okupiće muzičare različitih generacija koji će izvesti klasični i popularni program uz niz muzičkih iznenađenja i različite ritmove i žanrove.
U okviru sportskog programa Festivala vjetra 2025. u subotu, 45.maja, očekuje nas off-road biciklisticka trka “Vrmac Downhill Race 2025”, ciljem da naglasi vrijednosti i potencijale tivatskog zaleđa.
Dobra ekipa lokalnih downhill biciklista treću godinu za redom u kontekstu Festivala vjetra organizuje druženje u predivnom ambijentu budućeg Parka prirode Vrmac. Od naselja Peani, gravitacija i mišići će povesti bicikliste na uživanje u izazovnim stazama duž kojih se nude fantastični prizori pejzaža do cilja trke u naselju Marici.
Staza je srednje težine sa zemljanom, kamenitom i travnatom podlogom, a takmičenje otvoreno za odrasle i djecu, uz saglasnost roditelja.
Ako vam je neobično što nam na Festival vjetra ponovo stižu Rundek i Ekipa, nemojte da bude. Opredijelila nas je za tu odluku Darkova neponovljiva muzika oplemenjena vrhunskim tekstovima sa snažnim porukama, gotovo u riječ onima koje naš festival želi poslati svom gradu, njegovim gostima i građanima. Kad tome dodamo Rundekov neumorni eko-aktivizam i posvećenost promociji principa održivosti kroz lični primjer, ali i učešće u brojnim radnim akcijama za spas prirodnih bogatstava i vrijednosti, nametnulo se važnim da mu obezbijedimo pozornicu na našoj Ponti Seljanova, za koju se godinama uvijek iznova borimo da ostane javno kupalište. Sem toga, što dokazujemo od prvog izdanja festivala- i neponovljiva pozornica pod zvijezdama, sa senjalom kao da smo na provi velikog broda. Kapetan večeri biće Darko Rundek, posada njegova Ekipa, a svi mi koji ćemo uživati putnici koji će ispratiti još jednu ediciju Festivala vjetra, pa da se družimo i dogodine.
25 years ago, a group of musicians from Mostar gathered out of necessity to respond to the environment in which they grew. They had something to say, and they had something to show. They still do. This is confirmed by the numerous hits they have gifted us, with changes in the musical lineup, through five studio albums. Four of these were recorded in the Mostar studio “Baraka.”
Connections to the story of JK Delfin and the reasons behind the creation of Windfest are apparent. Our club originated from a “baraka” (a small, makeshift building), which was not far from today’s Delfin building. Windfest was born out of the need to say and show that it is a society much more than just a small sports club; it is a primary maritime school and a dedicated guardian of the sea culture that defines the people of Boka. Therefore, we are very pleased to kick off Windfest 2025 with Zoster.
We are waiting for you, whether you’re one of our “fellow citizens” or not. The bura wind will blow on April 25th, or “Ojužilo,” “Everything that’s missing” is a minor problem when “A Man Wants to Be a Bird.” Maybe our mission is “Utopia,” but enough is enough – “Who has taken, has taken,” because it all depends on us. “A Man Named Fact” will save “The Sinking Ship.” The sea doesn’t have to, but we must use our minds so we don’t end up asking “Where are all those people going?”
We are “We will have when.” Our “Heart is Boiling.” Welcome to the fourth edition of Windfest!
Traditionally, the calendar of the Montenegro Sailing Federation includes the Small Tivat Regatta, which is sailed in the Optimist and ILCA classes, representing the backbone of competitive sailing in Montenegro. The start of this one-day competition in the Bay of Tivat, with the number of races determined by the conditions the sea and wind will offer us, is scheduled for 11:00 AM on April 26th.
The Tivat Regatta UNA Montenegro Cup celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. It is the most significant maritime event of the JK Delfin Cruiser Section, which has inspired many other popular initiatives, including the organization of Windfest.
An exceptional route, the gathering and socializing of local sailors, and a great response from foreign crews have, over two decades, branded the Tivat Regatta as the informal opening of the new sailing season in Boka for large boat classes. Delfin has been tasked with improving the organization of the regatta year after year.
Sailors, prepare your boats! For the anniversary, we’re preparing a great celebration both at sea and on the shore.
The regatta is open to cruisers, traditional boats, and the Hobie Cat and J70 classes. Around 50 boats and 250 sailors are expected to participate.
The race will follow this route: starting near Ponte Seljanova, rounding the “Tunja” lighthouse, the islands of Gospa od Milosti and Sveti Marko, passing through the Ralo strait, then the Verige strait, rounding the Perast islands on the left side, and returning towards the finish at Ponte Seljanova.
Spectators can follow the regatta along most of the route from the Tivat coast.
Trophies will be awarded to the fastest boat in real time and the top three in each category. The winner’s ceremony for the 20th Tivat Regatta UNA Montenegro Cup will take place in front of JK Delfin on April 27th at 6:00 PM, followed by a traditional dinner for the regatta participants.
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.
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.
For the second year in a row, the City Riva will transform for one day into a bustling hub of maritime crafts. We will be greeted by various representatives of the so-called maritime community, from sailors and divers to fishermen and vendors offering a range of “maritime” necessities – from boat engines to nets and ropes. This year, we’ll also have artists who draw their inspiration or materials for creation from the sea, and we’ll have the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions about protecting and enhancing the maritime crafts industry, which has been recognized as one of the greatest economic opportunities in terms of developing small and medium-sized businesses in Tivat.
In organizing this fair, JK Delfin is delighted to collaborate with the Business Info Center Tivat, which has ensured that we gather representative exhibitors with whom it will be interesting to discuss their activities and view the presentations they’ve prepared for display at the Pina area.
JK Delfin continues its collaboration with the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Kotor, University of Montenegro, presenting the third edition of the international scientific and professional conference “Boka Bay as a Sustainable Nautical Destination.”
The conference will be officially opened by the Mayor of Tivat, Željko Komnenović. Participants will be welcomed on behalf of the hosts by the President of JK Delfin, Dr. Frano Tripović, and the Dean of the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Kotor, Prof. Dr. Tatijana Dlabač. We will hear opening remarks from representatives of The Ocean Race Europe, which will conclude in Tivat this September, as well as from the Director of the Port Authority of Dubrovnik, Blaž Pezo.
The focus of this year’s conference is on one of the greatest challenges in the context of economic development and the need to preserve the sensitive ecosystem of Boka Bay, as well as the safety of maritime traffic through Boka Bay. This will be followed by a panel discussion titled “Cruise Ships in Boka Bay – Economy and Ecology,” moderated by journalist and publicist Siniša Luković. The panel will feature the Director of Kotor Port, Ljubo Radović; the Mayor of Kotor, Vladimir Jokić; the Director of the Maritime and Inland Navigation Directorate at the Ministry of Maritime Affairs, Captain Goran Idrizović; marine biologist Dr. Slavica Petović from the Institute of Marine Biology; and Prof. Dr. Danilo Nikolić from the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Kotor.
