The story behind it
Jazz music has a niche but enthusiastic following in Montenegro, and Petrovac Jazz Festival was created to promote cultural exchange. While jazz is not a traditional Montenegrin art form, this festival provides insight into modern cultural influences and community initiatives to embrace international music styles. It also highlights Petrovac’s identity as a seaside resort town that can host international events.
