The Mimosa Festival is one of the main holidays in Montenegro. We have long heard about the Mimosa Festival, which is usually held in February in the vicinity of the city of Herceg Novi. And, of course, we decided to independently check what kind of holiday it was. It takes place in the vicinity Herceg Novi (or rather in Baosici, Kumbor, Dzhenovichi) for 44 years. It is held in honor of the flowering of bright, beautiful and elegant mimosa, and its flowering symbolizes the arrival of spring (in early February ... not bad, right? 🙂) The festival lasts a whole week, during which musical evenings, exhibitions, theater performances, masquerade and, of course , festivities.
We arrived in Kumbor, there were a lot of people. Wine and brandy flowed freely and completely free of charge, all guests were treated to delicious fried fish - bleak; gave bouquets with mimosa. It is even difficult to imagine something similar in Russia.
At this holiday, for the first time, I saw pretty tipsy Montenegrins; it’s hard to resist when wine and brandy are handed out by the glass! 🙂
Now I am not only familiar with the Mimosa salad (and I understand why it is yellow :)), but also with a whole festival dedicated to this bright harbinger of spring!
Watch the video presentation prepared by our friends from Budva to the famous Montenegrin song about love 🙂
