This town was able to preserve its distinctiveness through a number of unique manifestations. In February, the people of Kotor mask their faces and put on costumes for the famous carnivals in the same way that their ancestors did for centuries. The most important celebration takes place on the main street, where a parade of masks and costumes made by the local creatives takes place. The town gets ready for the year ahead by trial and burning of the Cernevale for all the wrongdoings of the past year. In addition to this one, there is an international summer carnival which hosts many carnival groups from various European countries.

Another unique celebration is St. Tryphon’s Day, dedicated to the patron saint of Kotor, St. Tryphon, whose relics are located in the basilica that was erected in the 12th century.

As the tradition has required for centuries, at the end of August a costumed boats parade makes rounds on the water going from Muo to Dobrota, making the bay even more beautiful. Kotor has long been recognized as a city of prestigious and famous festivals.
