Lake Fest
Rock and alternative music on a lakeside beach outside Nikšić.
Montenegro’s best-known rock festival, staged on the shore of Krupac Lake near Nikšić. Regional and international bands play over several nights to a camping crowd, with swimming in the lake between stages — an unusually relaxed setting for a festival of its size.
What to expect
- Lakeside main stage
- Camping by the water
- Regional and international rock line-ups
