Monaco’s leading LGBTQIA+ association, Mon’Arc en Ciel, is celebrating its first anniversary with a public event aimed at honoring its achievements and strengthening community bonds.

The celebration will take place on Friday 16 May from 6pm at 22 Quai Jean-Charles Rey, with members of the public, allies, friends and families warmly invited to attend.

Founded to promote inclusion and advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights in the Principality, Mon’Arc en Ciel has spent the past year building a visible presence through community initiatives, outreach and dialogue. Friday’s gathering is expected to reflect both the progress made and the challenges that remain.

“This is not only a celebration of our first year but a moment to look ahead,” said a representative of the organisation. “We are deeply grateful to everyone who has stood with us. Together, we continue to shape a more inclusive Monaco.”

For further information, the organization can be reached at 0780980003.
