Monaco’s waterfront is set to take on a festive atmosphere as the traditional Foire Attractions returns to Port Hercule from 16 October to 19 November 2026. A popular seasonal fixture, the fair brings together residents, families and visitors for a month of classic carnival entertainment against the picturesque backdrop of the Principality’s marina.
Opening at 2pm on Friday, 16 October, the fair promises something for all ages. Younger visitors can enjoy traditional carousels, while thrill-seekers can head for the more adventurous rides. Carnival games and colourful stalls complete the experience, creating a lively atmosphere that has become part of Monaco’s autumn calendar.
Food is another essential part of the fair’s appeal. Visitors can look forward to familiar seasonal treats, from freshly made crêpes and churros to sweet candied apples. Whether stopping by for a quick snack, an afternoon with the children or an evening out with friends, the fair offers a relaxed way to enjoy the season by the sea.
Opening Hours
The fair’s schedule varies according to the day and attraction. Children’s rides and food stalls open daily from 11am, while the main attractions and stalls generally operate from 2pm to 11pm. On Fridays, Saturdays and the evenings before public holidays, opening hours extend until midnight.
A special late-night opening is also planned for Wednesday, 18 November, when the fair will remain open until 1am ahead of Monaco’s National Day celebrations.
Running for just over a month, the Foire Attractions offers a welcome dose of nostalgia and seasonal fun in the heart of Monaco. With its combination of rides, games and traditional treats, the annual event invites visitors to experience a more playful side of the Principality as autumn unfolds.
