First Prize Bokeljska Noc 2018 Kotor in pictures
In cooperation with the Tourist Organization and the Maritime Museum of Montenegro Kotor, an exhibition of color photographs of Bokeljska Noc from 1959 was organized on the walls near the City Square, when Marshal Tito attended it.
Above the main city gates, next to the Bokeljska Noc banner, there is a banner featuring the figure and lyrics of Maja Perfiljeva's "Bokeljska Noc", which is the unofficial anthem of this biggest maritime feast in Boka bay.
On the day of Bokeljska Noc, the city's main waterfront parking will not be operational.
As a few dozen thousands of visitors are expected, and aiming to reduce traffic jams, drivers are urged to park their vehicles no later than 8 p.m.
The organizers ask special attention to be paid on the speed limit in the aquatorium, as a uniformed vessel will punish all malpractice drivers, who can damage the decorated parade boats.
The organizer is the Cultural Center “Nikola Djurković” in Kotor, co-organized by the local Tourist Organization and sponsored by the Municipality of Kotor.
