This Australia Day, Monaco’s expat community is invited to celebrate with the Principality’s official Australian Association — all while enjoying front-row views of the Sainte Dévote festivities.

On Monday 26th January, the Australian Association of Monaco will host its inaugural Australia Day celebration at a private venue overlooking Port Hercule, marking the first time the new group has formally come together to honour the national day.

Fresh off a recent trip to Sydney, the organisers have brought back a suitcase full of Aussie spirit — from flags and themed decorations to favourite snacks and drinks. And, of course, no Australia Day gathering would be complete without the classic sausage sizzle, ensuring that even from afar, the tastes of home are close at hand.

“It’s a celebration of community,” say organisers, who emphasise that in true Aussie fashion, everyone is welcome — you don’t have to be Australian to join in. Entry is €40 per person for non-members of the association, making it not only a chance to experience a relaxed and fun-filled national day, but also a perfect opportunity to connect with Monaco’s vibrant Australian community and learn more about the association.

To top off the evening, guests will also have a prime view of the Sainte Dévote drone and fireworks show, one of Monaco’s most cherished traditions.

The celebration runs from 5pm to 9.30pm, perfectly timed to take in both Australia Day revelry and the Principality’s own historic commemoration.
