#hello_monaco weekend: what to do on March 29th and March 30th

You are about to begin a very interesting weekend with the Rose Ball, concerts and sports events. So here are our recommendations for you.

Undoubtably the spotlight event of this weekend in Monaco is the Rose Ball, held in aid of the Princess Grace Foundation on Saturday 29 March 2025, at 8 pm in Salle des Etoiles.

For the 2025 edition of the Rose Ball, H.R.H. the Princess of Hanover, President of the Princess Grace Foundation, has chosen the theme “Sunset Ball” and once again given her friend Christian Louboutin carte blanche to create a spectacular Sunset Rose Ball.

Le Printemps des Arts (Spring Arts Festival) continues with a “Jazz” concert this Saturday 29 March 2025, at 7.30 pm in Théâtre des Variétés.

Hervé Sellin and his tentet perform their landmark album Marciac New-York Express, a succession of transatlantic round trips between two jazz hotspots. This series of “jazz tableaux” evokes both the tranquil landscapes of the Gers countryside and the dynamism and modernity of the Big Apple – including an original creation inspired by Pierre Boulez, offered to Printemps des Arts.

And on Sunday there is a  Screening of  “Sur incises: A Lesson by Pierre Boulez” Documentary by Andy Sommer  at 11 am in the Cinéma des Beaux-Arts followed by an “Organ” concert on at 3 pm in Cathédrale Notre-Dame-Immaculée de Monaco.

One more concert is prepared by the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra “Tribute to Ravel” with Kazuki YAMADA, Conductor, Nelson GOERNER, Piano, organized on Sunday, March 30, 2025, at 6 p.m. in Rainier III Auditorium.

For sports fans there is a match of Ligue 1 French Football Championship: AS Monaco – OGC Nice held on Saturday 29 March 2025 at 9.05 pm on Stade Louis II.

The Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Medicine World Congress (AMWC) comes to the end this Saturday. Held under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, and building on more than 2 decades of pioneering global experience, AMWC is the world’s leading conference specializing in aesthetic and anti-aging medicine. AMWC returns to Monaco for its 23 edition with over 15,000 participants, 300 speakers, and 900 of the industry’s most trusted brands!

A new exhibition opens this weekend in Monaco: The Oceanographic Institute of Monaco presents “Mediterranean 2050”, a 1,000 m² immersive exhibition at the Oceanographic Museum from Saturday, March 29, 2025. This brand-new, immersive and interactive exhibition aims to inspire visitors to the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco to take a different interest in the Mediterranean and commit to its protection, through a space-time journey to 2050.

Among other interesting exhibitions there is one by the Portuguese artist Francisco Tropa, specially conceived for the Villa Paloma and featuring a previously unseen selection of sculptures, drawings, films and light projections.

The exhibition takes its names from pietre paesine (imaged stones), whose geological designs are evocative of painted landscapes, on the boundary of figuration and abstraction. This idea of an analogy between nature and technique is at the heart of Francisco Tropa’s work, which focuses on the conditions of appearance and perception of an image.

The Monaco Museum of Prehistoric Anthropology is delighted to invite you to discover its new temporary exhibition: The Butterfly Effect: The Pre-History of Animals, organised under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco. Explore whole rooms themed to the animal kingdom and biodiversity, and take a fascinating journey through archaeology and our natural history! It is open until Monday 1 December 2025, from 9 am to 6 pm in Musée d’Anthropologie Préhistorique.

Exhibition: “Agora, the Place of the Museum” is now open at Nouveau Musée National de Monaco – Villa Sauber.

Back in 2015, the NMNM debited its first ever LAB giving visitors a glimpse “behind the scenes of the museum”. Then in 2018, five guest artists were invited to produce their own musings on the very meaning of the museum itself. In 2025, as the Villa Sauber prepares to undergo a radical transformation, the NMNM is giving pride of place to its public-facing programmes, where the focus is on artists and promoting a wider sharing of art appreciation.

Of course there are other interesting events taking place in Monaco. If you want to learn more about them visit our Calendar.

So have fun and enjoy your weekend!
