The story

New Year's Bazaar Tivat in Tivat

The New Year's Bazaar is a humanitarian charity market held in Tivat in late December, organized by the Municipality of Tivat together with the Tivat Women's Organisation and the Red Cross of Tivat. It forms one strand of a wider holiday program that runs through January 15, alongside light installations at Porto Montenegro, open-air concerts and DJ sets around the marina and old town.

Late December in Tivat brings a shift from the marina's summer glamour toward a more communal, civic version of the holiday season.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The bazaar's defining feature is its charitable purpose: proceeds and donated goods sold at the stalls support humanitarian work carried out by the Tivat Women's Organisation and the local Red Cross branch, rather than functioning purely as a seasonal shopping event

02

The mystery stays covered

Organized directly by the Municipality of Tivat, it sits inside a longer holiday season that stretches from late December through January 15, timed to Orthodox New Year and Christmas observances common in Montenegro

03

The city starts moving

Around it, Porto Montenegro's marina is strung with light installations, and the town hosts open-air concerts and DJ sets, giving the bazaar a festive backdrop even though its own core purpose remains fundraising and community solidarity rather than entertainment
