January 2026 in Budva brings a mixed bag of news—but the spirit of adventure is alive and well! The spectacular New Year’s drone show over Budva’s Old Town didn’t go as planned, with around 600 drones ending up in the sea and surrounding areas. Fortunately, no injuries were reported and an investigation is underway. Meanwhile, planned New Year performances were canceled due to heavy rain, underscoring the unpredictability of winter on the Adriatic coast.
