Site officiel
The Nikšić Guitar Festival, founded in 2005, is one of the region's most prestigious classical-guitar events — and in 2025 it celebrated its 20th anniversary with an extended season of concerts from 21 September to 19 October.
The festival rests on two pillars. The first is world-class recitals: internationally acclaimed guitarists perform in Nikšić's halls, with Goran Krivokapić among the 2025 artists. The second is the MIGC — the Montenegro International Guitar Competition — whose finals are broadcast, drawing young virtuosos from around the world to compete.
Masterclasses connect the two worlds, letting competitors and students study with the visiting masters. Events take place in the RTV studio and city halls, and for a month Nikšić becomes an unlikely but genuine capital of the classical guitar — a point of pride for a city better known for steel and beer.
Ticketing is mixed, with some events free and others charged; full details at guitarmontenegro.com.
