Monaco’s popular autumn fun fair will be back in Port Hercule for a full month, starting from 18th October.

The changing of the seasons means one thing for the children and young people of Monaco: very soon, Port Hercule’s popular fun fair will be returning to the Quai Albert Ier, and this year is set to be bigger and better than ever before.

Running from 18th October until 19th November, the fun fair has become synonymous with Monaco’s All Saints’ half-term break.

This year’s edition will feature a grand total of 78 attractions and stands, from rides and games to sweet and savoury delights that will appeal to all ages. Little ones will enjoy the Palais du Rire and the Cars-themed and Astrojet rides, while thrill-seekers can test their boundaries on the Aviator or the Atmosfear.

Visitors will also be able to indulge in classic fairground delights such as waffles, Hungarian brioches and crêpes, as well as hot dogs and the region’s perennial favourite snack of socca.

PRACTICAL INFO

As with previous years, safety remains a top priority at the Mairie de Monaco-organised event. Eight entrances, located on both the upper and lower parts of Quai Albert Ier, will provide access to the fairgrounds, and all bags will be checked upon entry. Once capacity is reached, access to the fair will be temporarily suspended, so be sure to check the live attendance updates on the Mairie’s website before heading over.

The fair will operate daily, with the food stands and children’s rides opening at 11am and closing at 11pm on weekdays. On Fridays, Saturdays and the eves of public holidays, the fair will stay open until midnight. On 18th November, the eve of Monaco’s National Day, the fun fair will run until 1am.
