Mairie forced to cancel summer events

The Mairie has announced a series of summertime event cancellations, including the much-anticipated International Fireworks Competition, due to the uncertainty of the public health situation.

In order to “avoid excessive gatherings of the population”, the Mairie has announced the cancellation of all of its public events this summer. 

In June, this means that the traditional award ceremonies normally held at the Mairie, such as the Sports Festival, the award ceremony of the Monaco Language Competition, the award ceremony of the Rainier III Academy, and the award ceremony for the Higher School of Plastic Arts-Bosio Pavilion, will not be held this year. 

Additionally, the concerts associated with Fête de la Musique on 21st June will not take place, nor will the Rainier III Academy Gala Concert on 24th June. 

In July and August, annulments include the 2nd MC Summer Concert, originally scheduled for 1st July, The Summer Carnival on the Rock that was scheduled for 10th July, and the Monaco Arc en Ciel 2020 International Fireworks Competition that was intended for 17th and 25th July and 1st and 8th August.

The amusements usually taking place on the Port of Monaco during the summer months will not go ahead, though the town will create shady spots on Quai Albert I for those looking to beat the heat.

Finally, Les Musicales, world concerts and Le Squar’Animé – children’s shows that would have taken place on alternating Wednesday evenings in Place Gastaud, are also cancelled.
