Tivat Music Festival (TMF) is a new artistic platform on the Montenegrin coast. Tivat, as the most important summer air and sea port of Montenegro, also represents the most important window into the world of elite tourism, which Montenegro strives for.

TMF was formed with the mission to contribute to the branding of Tivat as a Montenegrin port of music, through the realization of a wide range of quality music and opera programs.

Tivat, as the youngest, cosmopolitan city of Kotor Bay and an example of the accelerated development of a small modern city, represents the most promising Montenegrin municipality, for which we plan to introduce cultural and artistic programs that will affirm exactly its profile and its values.

Almost twenty artistic programs that will enrich Tivat’s cultural and tourist offer in the period from April to August will present the first edition of TMF and the specific goals of the festival. Below you can see the three main goals of the first edition of the festival, quantitative and qualitative indicators for their successful realization:
