The fourth annual Festival of Culture and Nature will be on Saturday and Sunday the 10th and 11th of September at Lake Skadar.
This years festival will be themed as “Otter Fest 2011″ in honor of the endangered otters of Lake Skadar. The otters of Lake Skadar are of the species known as Lutra lutra, or the European Otter.
Outdoor activities at the Festival of Culture and Nature will include windsurfing, kayaking, boat racing, cruising, fly fishing, cycling, and hiking. There will also be an art colony organized with exhibitions from both Montenegro and Albania. In addition, there will be special activities for children. Musical entertainment at the event will include the bands Jinx and Senkina Đeca.
The full festival program with schedule will be ready by the end of August and we will update this article when that is available.

Great to see you are having an OtterFest. We were at Lake Skadar at the beginning of July and found signs of otters at one site. We would very much like to do a full survey of the lake next year. If people want to know more about otters please go to our website.

Great to see this festival back at the lake. It’s really popular with locals and draws quite a crowd from Podgorica. Parking is difficult so it’s better to arrive by public transport or lift-share if possible. Hard to believe, but Virpazar will be hosting a late night of music with top Croatian band Jinx playing on 11 Sept. Not sure why that isn’t mentioned in this article. Although I love otters, I couldn’t help but hope for a repeat of last year’s amusingly named “Krap Fest”, dedicated to the carp.
