The Tivat Tourism Organisation has prepared a diverse festive programme under the slogan "Your Wish, Your Tivat", bringing together music, sports, entertainment and holiday celebrations.

The festivities will begin on December 12 with a concert by the popular band Valentino, while the main New Year celebrations will feature performances by some of the most famous artists in the region.

REGIONAL MUSIC STARS TO LIGHT UP TIVAT

Visitors can look forward to an exciting concert programme:

- December 12 – Valentino

- December 30 – Peđa Jovanović

- December 31 – Svetlana Ceca Ražnatović

- January 1 – Jakov Jozinović

- January 2 – Mirza Selimović

- January 13 – Nikola Rokvić

The festivities will conclude on January 13 with a performance by Nikola Rokvić, marking Orthodox New Year's Eve and bringing more than a month of celebrations to a spectacular close.

STRONG INTEREST FROM BANJA LUKA AND PLANS FOR SPECIAL FLIGHTS

Nina Lakičević, Director of the Tivat Tourism Organisation, highlighted the remarkable interest in the festive programme, particularly among visitors from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Croatia.

One of the most exciting announcements for travellers from Republika Srpska is the possibility of direct flights from Banja Luka to Tivat during the holiday period.

According to Lakičević, the high demand for New Year concerts has prompted discussions about organising flights on four dates in cooperation with Air Montenegro.

These connections would make it easier for visitors from Republika Srpska to spend their winter holidays on the Montenegrin coast while enjoying live performances by their favourite artists.

HOTELS FILLING UP AS FESTIVE EXCITEMENT GROWS

The popularity of Tivat's New Year programme is already reflected in accommodation bookings. According to Lakičević, most hotel rooms and private accommodation facilities are already booked.

The expectations of local businesses are equally impressive. While the rental of festive market stalls generated approximately €5,000 two years ago, this year's auction raised more than €72,000 for just five stalls.

The holiday programme will also feature the Boka Marathon, scheduled for December 12 and 13, attracting athletes and outdoor enthusiasts from around the world.

More than 7,000 competitors from over 58 countries have registered for this year's event, more than double the number recorded last year.

YOUR WISH, YOUR TIVAT

This year's festive campaign, "Your Wish, Your Tivat", reflects the organisers' desire to offer visitors more than entertainment - an unforgettable experience filled with positive emotions and lasting memories.

Tivat is also building on a successful tourism season. During the first nine months of the year, the destination recorded more than 171,000 tourist arrivals, an increase of 18%, and approximately 1.32 million overnight stays, representing a 7% increase compared to the same period last year.

With its spectacular New Year celebrations, attractive concert programme and charming Mediterranean atmosphere, Tivat continues to strengthen its position as a year-round tourist destination.

For those dreaming of welcoming 2027 by the sea, surrounded by music, festive lights and a vibrant atmosphere, Tivat promises to be one of the most appealing holiday destinations in the region.
