Montenegro Beer Fest
Three summer nights of beer and big regional headliners at Cetinje's Turistički parking.
This event has ended
It returns every year — dates for the next edition haven't been announced yet.
The 2026 line-up shows the festival's pull: Jelena Rozga, Van Gogh, Magla Bend, Čoda and Isak headline the three nights, following editions that brought Bajaga, Who See, Jala Brat & Buba Corelli and Marija Šerifović in 2025 — and a Zdravko Čolić concert that drew more than 15,000 people in 2024, enormous numbers for a town of Cetinje's size.
Dozens of beer brands pour across the festival grounds, from big regional names to smaller producers. Working through the taps is a programme in itself, and the beer garden stays lively from the first pour of the evening until the last encore fades out over the old capital's rooftops.
The formula is simple and it works: warm midsummer nights in the mountain capital, cold beer, and headliners that pull crowds from across Montenegro and the region. The festival has quickly become one of the fixtures of the Montenegrin summer, giving Cetinje three of its liveliest nights of the year. Even after dark the mountain air keeps things comfortable — an advantage the old capital holds over the coast at the height of summer.
Music festival
Tickets are sold through e-tickets.me, with day and full-festival passes available and prices starting from 10 EUR. The festival runs from 31 July to 2 August at the Turistički parking in Cetinje, and the town fills up for the weekend, so arrange transport or accommodation in advance and come ready for long, loud, cheerful nights. Day passes suit visitors chasing a particular headliner, while the full-festival pass makes more sense for anyone planning to settle into the whole weekend.
