One of Monaco’s best-known autumn traditions is returning to Port Hercule, bringing rides, games and seasonal treats back to the harbour for more than a month.
The 2026 edition of the Foire Attractions will open on Friday, 16 October and continue until Thursday, 19 November, once again transforming part of the port into a lively funfair for families, residents and visitors.
The fair officially gets underway at 2pm on opening day, with attractions ranging from children’s carousels and traditional carnival games to faster rides for those looking for something more adventurous.
Food is also a familiar part of the experience. Stalls around the fair will serve classic favourites including churros, crêpes and candied apples, adding to an atmosphere that has made the event a fixture of Monaco’s autumn calendar.
Opening hours will vary throughout the week. Children’s attractions and food stalls will welcome visitors from 11am each day, while the main rides and other stands will generally operate from 2pm until 11pm.
On Fridays and Saturdays, as well as evenings before public holidays, the fair will remain open until midnight, giving visitors more time to enjoy Port Hercule after dark.
There will also be a special late-night opening on Wednesday, 18 November, when the attractions will continue until 1am. The extended evening comes ahead of Monaco’s National Day on 19 November, when celebrations take place across the Principality.
With its waterfront setting and mix of traditional attractions, the Foire Attractions remains one of the more informal events on Monaco’s annual calendar. For just over a month, Port Hercule swaps part of its usual marina atmosphere for bright lights, fairground rides and the unmistakable scent of freshly made crêpes.
