Monaco’s Green Shift Festival is back for its third edition this June, transforming the Promenade du Larvotto into a space for dialogue, art, and ecological action. Organised by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, the free three-day event will run from the 4th to the 6th of June and is open to the public each evening from 6pm.
Now firmly established as part of the Principality’s summer calendar, the festival blends live performances, expert talks, and cultural engagement to encourage fresh perspectives on the environment. “By reinventing our relationship with the living world, we can profoundly transform our environment,” says Olivier Wenden, Vice-President and CEO of the Foundation. “The Green Shift Festival is an invitation to explore those paths together.”
Each night will feature a distinct theme. The opening evening, titled Welcome to 2050, will use storytelling and performance to imagine a future shaped by successful ecological transition.
On the 5th of June, At the Heart of the Living World will focus on human interdependence with nature, while the final night, Music & Ecology, will see artists and activists discuss how sound and creativity can support climate awareness.
Daily Happy Hours from 6pm will showcase local green initiatives, followed by performances from 7pm to 8:30pm and DJ sets and sustainable street food until 10pm. The event also includes a collaborative art installation and morning wellness sessions supported by the Kate Powers Foundation. The 2025 Environmental Photography Award exhibition will open on the final evening, with the grand prize winner in attendance.
In the case of rain, the programme will move to the Rainier III Auditorium or the Monaco Multimedia Library.
