Monaco will mark the official inauguration of its first eco-district, Mareterra, on Wednesday 4th December with an evening of spectacular celebrations. Residents, visitors, and those involved in the project will witness a display of innovative entertainment that reflects Mareterra’s commitment to sustainability.

The highlight of the evening will be a carefully choreographed blend of concerts, drone shows, and fireworks displays, revealed the government on Monday. While the private event is reserved for the architects, artisans, and workers who contributed to this monumental project, the performances will be visible from across the Principality, allowing everyone to join in the spirit of celebration.

In a nod to Mareterra’s eco-conscious ethos, the fireworks have been sourced from Europe and designed without plastic, aluminum, or chlorine, using biodegradable materials. Dynamic positioning barges will ensure the displays remain far from protected marine zones, avoiding damage to the seabed. After the event, a specialized cleanup team will recover any waste for recycling or reconditioning, ensuring the festivities leave no trace.

Monaco’s new district will be officially inagurated during the day of 4th December by Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene. The evening serves as both a celebration of Mareterra’s completion and a showcase of Monaco’s commitment to balancing innovation with environmental responsibility.
