The Mimosa Festival is a traditional tourist and propaganda event in honor of the mimosa flower, one of the most important and longest-lived in our region.


It was founded in 1969 by the Tourist Association of Boka Kotorska and the Municipal Assembly of Herceg Novi. The festival hosts a large number of programs, the most attractive of which are: carnival processions, masquerades for children and adults, the Festival of Mimosa, Fish and Wine, which attracts thousands of guests every year, the International Flower Exhibition and promenade concerts of brass bands and majorettes. Exhibitions, concerts, literary and stage programs in local production and guest appearances of famous performers from the region, as well as presenting the culture and gastronomic traditions of countries and friend cities of Herceg Novi make the festival program extremely meaningful. There are numerous sports competitions during the Mimosa, as well as adventurous challenges in nature thanks to the fact that the climatic conditions of Herceg Novi are very favorable.

The mimosa festival has grown into a complex tourist and cultural event with many visitors from all over the region. This festival with a half-century tradition is the pride of the people of Herceg Novi, with whom we wish a welcome to spring and to people of good will who will find a warm welcome in Herceg Novi in ​​all seasons.

Mimosa, which, despite the winter, is blooming, turning the entire Herceg Novi Riviera into a lush flower garden, is a trademark of the festival and winter tourism of the Bay of Kotor and the Montenegrin coast.

This year's 53rd Mimosa Festival is held from February 18 to March 5, with a various program that includes events that will begin on February 3, with the opening of the Herceg Novi Winter Salon in the "Josip Bepo Benković" gallery. In addition to the opening and closing ceremonies with concerts, we can expect traditional mimosa harvest on the Riviera, masquerade for children and adults, fish dinner, flower exhibition, presentation of friendly cities Novo Mesto, St. Petersburg and Belgrade, wine fair, music and gastronomic open street in Igalo, plays, art exhibitions, music school concerts, literary evenings and numerous sports programs.

For the opening of the holiday, a concert by Neda Ukraden will be organized on Nikola Đurković Square, and Dejan Petrović and the Big Band will perform at the closing, but the location will be determined later.

The organizers stated that they have made additional efforts to keep everything that the Mimosa Festival has been recognized for in all previous years, despite the current epidemiological situation. This year, the Mimosa Caravan, which has announced the Holiday so far, will be absent, but by spreading the news and promoting it through the media and social networks, the organizers hope to reach a large number of people and they announced that great interest has been expressed, both from our country and from countries of the region.
