Budva offers children and teenagers a lively setting for choral singing, with a seaside town rhythm and a strong calendar of festivals and competitions. Many of the listed events take place in summer, when choirs from different countries come together to perform, share their repertoire and hear other groups sing.

The upcoming choir-related events on this page include the "Songs of the Sea" International Choir Festival and the "Saint Stefan" International Choir Festival & Competition, both organized by the World Festival Association (WOFA). Several other music and dance festivals in Budva also welcome vocal ensembles, so families interested in choir may find more than one option across the year.

Before signing up, check each event's listing for the exact dates, age categories, registration deadlines and any fees, as these details can vary from year to year. Parents are encouraged to confirm entry requirements with the organizer directly and to plan travel and accommodation in advance, especially during the busy summer season.
