To begin there is the 25th Monte-Carlo Gastronomy Fair, organized on 25th to 28th of November 2022 in Espace Fontvieille.

For its third edition, Maestro chef will challenge 6 candidates. Each of them will have one hour to create an original recipe, and one hour and a half during the final. they will have to prepare 3 plates, using a list of ingredients that will be sent to them the day before.
This weekend the second edition of the Festival des Etoilés Monte-Carlo will end with a special Gala evening, at which the Resort’s own Michelin-starred chefs – Alain Ducasse, Marcel Ravin, Yannick Alleno, and Dominique Lory – will prepare incredible dishes right in front of you, a treat for the eyes and the tastebuds on Saturday 26 November 2022, in One Monte-Carlo.
The Town Hall of Monaco is continuing its desire to revitalize its sites by organizing several “theme markets” at the Monte-Carlo Market.
On Saturday November 26, it will be a “Sea Market” which will welcome visitors at the Monte-Carlo Market from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
In addition to the merchants usually present, a sale of seafood products and tastings of grilled oysters and cuttlefish will be offered.
There are other interesting events in Monaco. To begin the Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival 2022 continues with Magma and the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra concert on Sunday 27 November 2022, at 6 pm, in the Opéra de Monte-Carlo – Salle Garnier.
On the occasion of the European Week for Waste Reduction (SERD) which will take place from November 19 to 27, 2022 on the theme “Sustainable Textile”, the Town Hall of Monaco will join this new edition through various actions. Among the highlights, the Municipal Institution, under the leadership of Marjorie Crovetto, Deputy Mayor, in charge of the Living Environment, Environment and Sustainable Development, is offering a “Sustainable Textile Day” on Saturday November 26 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. which will take place at A Casa d’i Soci (the House of Associations).
The textile industry, which is particularly polluting, has a significant impact on the environment (greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution, etc.). The Town Hall therefore wanted to organize a textile sale and offer Monegasques and residents the possibility to sell the clothes they no longer use and which are piling up in the cupboards! This sale of second-hand textile products allows everyone to participate in the action of recycling in favor of sustainable development.
