Monaco’s beloved summer carnival U Sciaratu is set to return on Friday 4th July a date specifically timed to coincide with America’s Independence Day.

This year’s edition will celebrate all things American on the Rock, bringing a taste of the United States to the Principality’s historic district.

The festivities kick off at 6:30p.m. with a comprehensive programme designed to delight visitors of all generations. The evening will feature street performances, face painting workshops, and ballon sculptures.

Classic carnival treats will also be available, including popcorn and candy floss stands scattered throughout Monaco-Ville.

The celebration will reach its peak at 10p.m. when the Place de la Mairie transforms into an open-air dance floor for the Grand Ball. A DJ will be providing the soundtrack for what promises to be a most memorable evening.

According to organisers, everything has been planned by the City Animation Service, aiming to provide all the elements that will make this night unforgettable.

The free event requires no advance booking and will take place throughout Monaco-Ville starting 6:30pm on Friday 4th July
