About the event

Jazz Bay closes Herceg Novi's summer on a swinging note: two evenings in late August (30–31 August in 2024) at the Park hall amphitheatre, a festival run by the NGO Jazz Bay and established in 2013.

The programme pairs regional and international stars — the 2024 edition brought Zdenka Kovačiček with the GreenHouseBluesBand — to the open-air amphitheatre as the season's crowds begin to thin and the evenings turn golden. Late August is arguably the coast's best moment: still warm, no longer packed, and made for music.

True to its community roots, the festival also runs educational workshops, passing jazz culture on to younger players and listeners rather than just presenting concerts.

Most of the programme is free, which makes Jazz Bay a gift to anyone still on the coast at summer's end. Take an evening stroll along Herceg Novi's long seaside promenade, then settle into the amphitheatre for the night's set.
