"Herceg Novi calls - party, sun, sea" - is the slogan of the 56th Mimosa Festival. Mimosa is the first association with this town. It is believed that this plant brings happiness. It symbolizes strength, eternal love - the one that never stops, never dies, and therefore mimosa is a symbol of immortality.
The grand opening of the Mimosa Festival has been announced for February 14, a date that people around the world celebrate as "Valentine's Day", which adds another symbolism to this special event. And what awaits you in the period from February 14 to March 2, read below.

2. Although it is a town with over 200 sunny days, bring something warm to wear, because the Mimosa Festival is an overture to spring, but February can be deceptive, so don't let it fool you.
3. When leaving, be sure to take a yellow mimosa flower with you for good luck! Interestingly, the mimosa is the only flower that blooms during the winter, which carries a strong message if you think a little deeper. It thrives and survives even when the weather conditions are unfavorable, beautifying the entire coast. Therefore, it tells us that the greatest strength is within ourselves and that regardless of the circumstances around us, we should always preserve the good in us. Because that's the only way we protect ourselves and refine the world around us!
