Boka Night (Bokeljska noć)
About
On a warm August night the Bay of Kotor fills with decorated, illuminated boats parading by lamplight, the festivities ending in fireworks over the water off the Kotor quay.
Highlights
- A parade of decorated, illuminated boats across the bay after dark.
- Live music along the Kotor waterfront and a festive crowd on the quay.
- A fireworks finale reflected in the still water of the Boka.
Practical tips
- Stake out a waterfront spot early; the riva gets packed before the boats appear.
- Pair it with an early dinner along the bay before the parade begins.
- Confirm the year's date with the Tourism Organisation of Kotor before you travel.
