Tivat Music Festival

The Tivat Music Festival stretches classical music across the whole summer: the series runs from mid-June to late August each year, turning the town into a season-long concert stage rather than a single crowded weekend.

The programme is a summer series of classical concerts held in Tivat, pacing the season with regular evenings of music. In a town better known for its marina and beaches, the festival adds a quieter, more contemplative register to the summer — an evening of classical music after a day on the water of the Bay of Kotor.

The format suits travellers well: rather than planning a trip around fixed festival dates, visitors staying in or passing through Tivat between mid-June and late August can usually catch a concert whichever week they arrive. Warm evenings and the bay setting do the rest.

Details and dates for each concert are published on the festival's website, tivatmusicfestival.com, and through the Tivat tourist organisation's summer calendar. Check the schedule when you arrive — a concert evening makes a graceful counterpoint to a beach day.
