Autor na korzu (Author on the Korzo) is Nikšić's open-air book salon, spread across Trg slobode — the city's main square and traditional korzo, its evening promenade. The 7th edition in 2025 ran a remarkable 18 days, from 24 July to 10 August, making it one of the longest literary events in the country.
Every night brings an author evening under the open sky: readings, conversations and book promotions with writers, while bookstalls line the square through the day. In 2025 the festival embedded an open-air jazz programme (30 July – 4 August), pairing literature with live music at the height of summer.
Organised by the Association of Publishers and Booksellers as the successor of the earlier "Pjesnik na korzu" (Poet on the Korzo), the festival keeps a distinctly Nikšić character: books where people already stroll, on the square, in the warm evening air, with no doors and no dress code.
Everything is free — browsing, readings and concerts alike.
