Welcome to the libertarian festival in Montenegro

4-6 October 2024!

The festival brings together members of the Montelibero movement, people with libertarian views and anyone interested in learning how personal and social freedom and independence can be successfully secured in the modern world and what alternative methods of organising society exist.


The event will take place at several locations:

in the equipped light hall Lectorum in the very centre of Bar in Focuss.Space Event Hall.


You can attend the event for free, but you need to book a ticket. Places are limited and the event is funded by donations. The top 5 donators will get access to the VIP party along with the speakers, organisers and special guests of the event.
