The end of week is fast approaching and we are getting ready to have fun and enjoy ourselves. So here is what we prepared for your weekend plan.
Autumn and the approach of the All Saints’ Day school holidays are synonymous with Attractions Fair in the Principality! From Friday October 18 to Tuesday November 19, 2024 Monaco brings back its great Fun Fair in Port Hercule.
As every year, several dozen fairground workers (78 in total) will be gathered for the greatest pleasure of all! Game stands, recreational activities, rides, bumper cars, food stands… absolutely EVERYTHING has been thought of by the City’s Animation Service, in charge of the event.
The 7th International Cat Show, organized by the Monegasque association “De Gati de Munegu”, will be held this weekend at Espace Léo Ferré.
This year, several dozens of owners and breeders with approximately 200 cats of various, sometimes very rare, breeds are expected at the exhibition. The exhibition opens to the public at 10:00 and ends at 18:00.
If you are fond of theatre there is a play “Jules et Marcel” in Théâtre des Muses on Saturday 19 October 2024, at 4.30 pm.
Marcel Pagnol, one of the great writers and filmmakers, and his friend Jules Raimu, the cult actor who went on to become a legend in his own right, maintained their friendship through an extraordinary correspondence. Their letters reveal the sensitive, mercurial, and mischievous relationship between the two colourful characters, through the projects theyu worked on together until Raimu’s untimely death. “Jules et Marcel” tells the story of a friendship that was deep, fierce, and lasting, a mix of truculence and bad faith, epic arguments, mutual admiration, modesty, humour, and memories…
Music lovers will surely enjoy the “Tribute to Shostakovich” by the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra with Nathalie STUTZMANN, conductor, Xavier DE MAISTRE, harp on Sunday 20 October 2024, at 6 pm in Auditorium Rainier III.
