Monaco will embrace Bavarian tradition this autumn with Oktoberfest celebrations at the Marché de la Condamine, Café de Paris Monte-Carlo and Yacht Club de Monaco.
The programme begins in late September with a free community event at the Condamine market before moving to the Place du Casino for ten evenings of dining, music and dancing.
Three nights at the Marché de la Condamine
The Marché de la Condamine will hold its Oktoberfest celebrations on Thursday 24th, Friday 25th and Saturday 26th September, beginning at 7pm each evening.
The Tyrolfest orchestra will provide the traditional Alpine soundtrack, bringing live Bavarian-style music to the market for three consecutive nights.
Entry is free. Reservations can be made through the Mairie de Monaco on +377 93 15 06 04.
Oktoberfest returns to Café de Paris
Café de Paris Monte-Carlo will transform its covered ground-floor terrace for Oktoberfest from Friday 9th to Sunday 18th October.
Available during dinner service, the celebration will feature a special menu of traditional Bavarian dishes, live music from a Bavarian orchestra and a dance floor. Guests are also invited to attend in traditional dress.
The event offers a more polished interpretation of the Munich festival in the heart of the Place du Casino, with celebrations taking place regardless of the weather thanks to the covered terrace.
A Monaco tradition at the Yacht Club
The Yacht Club de Monaco will also hold its annual Oktoberfest celebration on Friday 16th October.
Described by the club as an established tradition, the event brings members and guests together for an evening inspired by the famous Bavarian festival. Access conditions and reservations should be confirmed directly with the Yacht Club de Monaco, as club events may be restricted to members and their invited guests.
With celebrations running from 24th September to 18th October, Monaco residents can choose between the informal atmosphere of the Condamine market, an evening in the Place du Casino or the Yacht Club’s private celebration.
