Šavnik Municipality Day
When

Tickets
Every 21 and 22 July, Šavnik — one of Montenegro's smallest municipalities, tucked into the mountains at the gateway to the Nevidio canyon — celebrates its Municipality Day on Trg Matija Jakić, the town's central square.
The celebration follows a two-evening rhythm. The 21st belongs to the Veče kulture, the Evening of Culture: exhibitions open and documentary films premiere, giving the day a reflective, local-heritage tone. On the 22nd the mood flips, as a concert takes over the square and the whole town — plus guests from across the region — turns out for the party.
Part of the appeal is simply seeing a place this small in full celebration mode. Šavnik's setting is dramatic out of all proportion to its size: the Nevidio canyon, one of Europe's great canyoning challenges, cuts through the mountains nearby, and the celebration lands in the heart of the canyoning season, making it a natural add-on to an adventure trip.
Both evenings on Trg Matija Jakić are free. The dates are fixed — 21 and 22 July annually — and everything happens within a few steps of the square.
