MIMOSA FESTIVAL – February 17 – March 4
The Mimosa Festival is a traditional event that has been held in Herceg Novi for 54 years. As part of this manifestation, a large number of traditional events are held, such as the mimosa harvest, masquerade balls, carnival parades and the famous trial and burning of the red bull. The mimosa that blooms despite the winter, turning the entire riviera into a luxurious garden, is the trademark of the festival and winter tourism of Herceg Novi, Boka Bay and the Montenegrin coast. This year, the festival has been enriched with more programs for children.
