Singing festivals in Budva
Budva, on the Adriatic coast of Montenegro, hosts singing festivals that give children and teenagers a chance to perform on stage alongside choirs and ensembles from other places. Festivals of this kind are a good way for young singers to gain performing experience, hear different styles and meet other young musicians in a relaxed, festive setting.
Two upcoming festivals are listed on this page, both organized by the World Festival Association (WOFA). The XX International Choir Festival "Songs of the Sea" is scheduled for May 2027, and the XXXII International Music & Dance Festival "BUDVA CULTURE FEST" for June 2027. Both are festival-format events, so they bring together performers in a shared programme rather than a single competition.
If you are considering one of these festivals for your child, check the event page for the most current details on dates, participation requirements and registration. Parents are also welcome to plan ahead, as festival programmes often suit singers who already have some choir or vocal training, and it helps to start preparing repertoire early.
