The first Sea Dance Festival was held from 15 to 17 July 2014 at the Jaz beach in Budva, and represented 3 days of music performances.[1] The festival was part of the EXIT Adventure, representing an additional 3 days of EXIT Festival.[2]

Location

Jaz beach is located 2.5 km west of Budva city. It consists of two parts, one 850 m long and the other, formerly a nudist beach, 450m long. It is a pebble beach, with a campground along the greater part of the beach (capacity 2,000 lots).

The event was a collaborative effort between the EXIT Foundation and the municipality of Budva, and Dukley Gardens, with the support from the Government of the Republic of Serbia and Government of Montenegro as well as the National Tourist Organisation of Montenegro and Tourist Organisation of Budva.[8]

All profits made from GOLD and PLATINUM VIP ticket sales for Sea Dance Festival went to flood-relief efforts in Serbia, Bosnia, and Croatia. The total sum of aid collected by the Municipality of Budva and EXIT AID, counting BE HUMAN events, is over 140 000EUR in funds and 80 000EUR worth of goods.
