Sailing Club Delfin invites you to the WindFest 2025, a month-long weekend event that once again brings together local institutions and public enterprises, NGOs and sports organizations, creative individuals and companies – delivering 14 sports, educational, cultural, and entertainment programs across eight locations over four festival weekends.
The heart of the story remains our traditional Tivat Cruiser Regatta – the UNA Montenegro Cup – whose 20th edition this year will be marked by the ceremonial participation of the training ship Jadran, one of the symbols of Tivat, Boka, and our long and rich tradition of seafaring and maritime education. We also look forward to the Little Tivat Regatta - Gadbois Cup, reserved for competitors in the Optimist and ILCA classes, as well as the Veterans’ Regatta in the ILCA 7 class, intended for sailors over 30 years of age.
Education has been at the heart of the festival from the very beginning, and Sailing Club Delfin continues to establish itself as an elementary maritime school. This is further confirmed through our cooperation with the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Kotor, University of Montenegro, with whom we bring the third edition of the international scientific conference “Boka Kotorska as a Sustainable Nautical Destination.” This year’s focus is on cruise ships and their traffic through Boka Kotorska, with Port of Kotor joining us as a partner in organizing the conference.
Cooperation with local cultural institutions continues. Together with the Tivat Museum and Gallery and the photographers’ association Adriatic Artists, we are bringing the international Wind Fest AA photo exhibition, this year under the title “Maritime Crafts.”
And that is no coincidence – “Maritime crafts” remains the name of the fair of maritime skills and crafts, which we organize on the Pine waterfront, this year in cooperation with the Tivat Business Info Center. In their Strategy for the Development of Micro and Small Enterprises in Tivat, maritime crafts are defined as a strategic sector. As part of the fair, the Business Info Center will also host a working meeting with local artisans and providers of maritime services, with the aim of forming a cluster and working together on better positioning in the market.
Within the framework of WindFest 2025, the Tivat City Library is hosting an evening with well-known Croatian journalist and TV host Krešimir Mišak, as part of the panel titled “On the Edge of Time.” This will be followed by a concert of Mišak’s band Hakuna Matata, to be held in the DTV Partizan hall of the Tivat Cultural Center.
Tivat is a town of music and song, once again confirmed by its oldest cultural institution – the Tivat Music and Education Society – which will bring us a full evening concert on the Pine waterfront titled “With Music through Calms and Storms.” We will also sing together on the plateau of St. Anthony’s Church, where the Association of Boka Musicians is hosting an A Capella Evening of Klapa Song, featuring the groups Incanto, Jadran, and Assa Voce.
If all this is not reason enough to join us again this spring, then you will surely be drawn by the musical spectacles with which we will open and close Wind Fest 2025. The festival will open with a concert by the Mostar band Zoster, while we will bid farewell to the sun and the fourth edition of the festival from Ponta Seljanovo with Darko Rundek and his band.
We’re waiting for you! Because Tivat is the town of good winds!
