What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

This carnival is distinguished by its specific focus on children as both participants and audience, rather than functioning as a general-audience street festival

02

The mystery stays covered

Organized by the NGO Omladinski centar Herceg Novi, it draws costumed young participants not only from across Montenegro but from the wider Balkan region, giving the parade an international, cross-border character despite its modest, community-organized scale

03

The city starts moving

Reaching a 17th edition in 2026 also marks it as an established, recurring fixture on Herceg Novi's calendar rather than a one-off event, with the two-day June 5-6 format allowing the parade and associated activities to unfold over a full weekend rather than being compressed into a single afternoon
