Monaco Gears Up for National Day

Monaco is preparing to celebrate its National Day with a vibrant mix of music, comedy, tradition, and family entertainment that will bring the entire Principality to life from 15 to 19 November.

The festivities begin on Saturday, 15 November, at the Espace Léo Ferré with a family-friendly performance of Treasure Island. Specially adapted for children aged five and up, the classic tale promises an afternoon of adventure and laughter for both young audiences and their parents.

On Tuesday, 18 November, Port Hercule will become the centre of celebration with a dazzling pyromelodic show at 8:10 p.m., open to all. The evening will continue with an energetic concert by the French pop-rock band Superbus, led by Jennifer Ayache, who will perform their timeless hits from the 2000s alongside new tracks from their latest album.

National Day, Wednesday 19 November, will showcase another facet of the celebrations. At 6 p.m., rising French comedian Philippine Delaire will perform her one-woman show Fille à papa at the Espace Léo Ferré. Known for her sharp humour and self-irony, she explores family relationships and generational contrasts with charm and wit.

Meanwhile, the La Condamine Market will uphold beloved local traditions. Starting at 9 a.m., visitors can enjoy tastings of Monegasque specialties, followed by the much-anticipated giant stockfish lunch and an evening filled with live music and convivial spirit.

To attend the performances, invitations can be collected in advance—on 4 November for Monegasque citizens and on 5–6 November for residents—by presenting an ID, residence permit, or family record book. Distribution will take place at Espace Léo Ferré and Monaco Town Hall.

This year’s celebrations once again promise a rich blend of community spirit, culture, and festivity, honouring Monaco’s cherished traditions with a modern, joyful twist.
