For two decades, the event has helped Les Enfants de Frankie raise important funds to support ill and vulnerable children in Monaco and the Alpes-Maritimes region, initially through the sale of token red noses for comedy effect and later reusable bags and other useful items.
For the 2024 edition, the event is embracing a festive theme with sales of the iconic red noses in the form of Christmas ornaments. The ornaments, priced at €5, can be purchased at various locations across Monaco, including the Carrefour Fontvieille supermarket and neighbourhood post offices.
The ornaments will also be on sale at several specific locations and events on certain days, such as the Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace on 21st November, the Fontvieille Shopping Gallery on 27th November and 14th December, the Métropole Shopping Monte-Carlo on 11th December, and the Monaco Christmas Market in Port Hercule on 18th December.
The sales will begin in early November and continue through December. The proceeds from these sales will be distributed to charities ensuring the comfort of unwell and disadvantaged children during the holiday season.
