Boka Night (Bokeljska noć)

Mid-August Kotor bay and waterfront · Kotor

Decorated boats, fireworks and an all-night party on the water at Kotor.

The biggest night of the Boka summer. Local clubs and crews decorate boats to a theme and parade them across the bay in front of Kotor, judged from the shore, with fireworks over the water and music on the quay until dawn. It draws people from the whole bay, so the town is at its fullest.

What to expect

  • Illuminated boat parade
  • Fireworks over the bay
  • Live music on the waterfront
  • One of the busiest nights of the year
