The MonacoUSA association, in partnership with the Comité de Commémoration d’Epoque, is set to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Principality’s liberation by Allied troops, many of whom were American, with a historical reenactment in the Place du Palais. 

On Tuesday 3rd September, eight decades on from the Liberation of Monaco by Allied forces in 1944, the Principality will come together to celebrate this landmark moment in Monegasque history. 

Alongside the state commemorations, which will be led by Prince Albert II of Monaco, the MonacoUSA association will also be hosting its own events in the Place du Palais.  

Between 10am and 9pm, the association will invite members of the public to experience the sights and sounds of this important date thanks to its faithful reproduction of a field hospital and a parade of period military vehicles.  

There will also be a tombola, a Best Look prize for the finest vintage attire and a networking event at the nearby Castel Roc restaurant, which will begin at 6pm.  

Entry to all of the events is free and open to the public. For more information on the commemorations and other MonacoUSA events, click here.
