The story

On the first Saturday of August each year, Gornja Lastva, a hillside village overlooking Tivat, hosts one of the more layered single-day festivals in the Bay of Kotor area: Lastovska Festa, or Lastovo Festivities.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Lastovska Festa packs a dense set of traditions into a single day: a ceremonial parade by the Boka Navy, accompanied by the Tivat Music and Educational Society, shares the program with traditional Lastovo circle dances and klapa-singing evenings known as Evenings in the Mill

02

The mystery stays covered

That mix of maritime ceremony, folk dance and a cappella singing gives the festa a layered character rarely found in a one-day event elsewhere in the Bay of Kotor area

03

The city starts moving

The setting reinforces that character, since Gornja Lastva is a hillside village above Tivat rather than a coastal town, giving the festivities a different backdrop from the bay-level festivals nearby

04

The water draws everyone in

Joint organization by Napredak and the Tivat Cultural Center reflects how closely the event ties to preserving local Lastva heritage rather than a generic regional program
