The story

Chestnut Festival Kostanjada in Stoliv/Kotor

Kostanijada, the Chestnut Festival, has run in the small Boka Bay village of Stoliv since 2006, held over roughly two weeks at the tail end of each November's chestnut harvest. The event pairs tastings of roasted chestnuts and local wine with a cultural program, children's artwork exhibitions and a sports schedule, celebrating a harvest tradition tied closely to the region's older Camellia Festival.

Stoliv sits on the inner curve of the Bay of Kotor, a quiet village whose chestnut groves have long supplied the surrounding Boka region with an autumn harvest worth celebrating.
