From games and parties to workshops and spooky storytelling sessions, the Mairie de Monaco has put together a thrilling programme for families to enjoy this Halloween.
It all starts with a parent-child workshop for younger children at the Princess Caroline Library on Wednesday 16th October. Between 3pm and 4pm, children aged three and up can create their very own friendly Halloween monster to take home and add to their decorations. The event is free of charge, though prior registration is required.
Then, from 10am to 11am on Tuesday 29th October, the same library will host a storytelling session featuring All Hallows’ Eve tales suitable for children aged three and older.
The 14th edition of the Grand Halloween Game will take place on Thursday 31st October from 2.30pm to 6pm in the Princess Antoinette Park. Open to children aged three to 10, this event will feature face-painting and various games and activities with a Halloween feel. The event is free and open to all.
There’s also plenty for older children and teenagers to look forward to. On Tuesday 29th October, the Louis Notari Library will host a special Halloween-themed afternoon of manga and games from 2pm to 4.30pm for participants aged 10 and up.
For Monaco schoolchildren and residents aged 10 to 14, the Espace Léo Ferré will hold a Halloween party on Thursday 31st October from 7pm to 11pm.
