Monaco’s National Day celebrations will kick off on the eve of the holiday with fireworks over Port Hercule on Wednesday 18th November.
The funfair will stay open late that night, while the Condamine Market will host its own celebrations on Thursday 19th November with local specialities, a giant stockfish lunch, and an evening of music.
FIREWORKS AND A LATE NIGHT ON THE PORT
The annual fireworks display is scheduled for 8:10pm on Wednesday. This year’s show will be set to music under the theme ‘Monaco, une nation en lumière’.
The funfair will remain open until 1am after the fireworks, before wrapping up for the year on Thursday 19th November.
STOCKFISH AND MUSIC AT THE CONDAMINE MARKET
On National Day itself, visitors can sample local specialities at the Condamine Market from 10am. At noon, the market will serve its traditional giant stockfish, a Monégasque dish made with dried cod. The programme will resume in the evening with music from 7:30pm.
Both the fireworks and the market programme are free to attend and open to all. Monaco Town Hall has also scheduled free shows at Espace Léo Ferré for Monégasque nationals and residents, with the invitation period closing last week.
