This weekend in Monaco is all about music, different genres and styles, combined with other forms of art. So let us give you a few suggestions.
This weekend is the final evening of the International musical fireworks competition‘Art en Ciel’, on Saturday 11 August at 9.30 pm, Port Hercule with team Portugal.
First introduced by Monaco’s Town Hall in 1966, the International Pyromelodic Firework Competition is a must see contest that takes place every summer, with 2 shows in July and 2 more in August, lighting up Monaco’s sky at every show. This is an actual annually-prized contest of top-quality pyrotechnic displays, lasting up to about 20 minutes each.
