@acm.mc

E-Rallye Monte-Carlo comes to an end this Sunday 18 October 2025. The unprecedented technological progress promoted by manufacturers – particularly in electric vehicle range – is pushing rally organizers to increase the challenge of their events. This is exactly the bold challenge taken up again by the organizing committee of this edition of the fully electric Rallye Monte-Carlo, the 13th and penultimate round of the 2025 Bridgestone FIA ecoRally Cup, which also celebrates the 30th anniversary of its creation and innovations.

What if it was her?

What if it was her?, on stage of the Theatre des Muses, will make up the evening for theatre lovers.

Franck, a casual thirty-something, superficial and unambitious, spends most of his time flirting. To be honest, in addition to a perpetual need for affection, which he seeks to satisfy by any means necessary, Franck also often needs a roof over his head. This is how he multiplies his dates thanks to dating sites, until the day he crosses paths with Lélé, a young woman with a luminous face. Bubbly and very funny, she has many surprises in store for him! And among them, it is certainly not the physical handicap with which she has always lived that will be the most important. Her zest for life and her determination will teach him, as they do everyone else, a real life lesson.

Tribute to The Doors at New Moods
@www.montecarlosbm.com

On Friday 17, and Saturday 18 October, get into the mood of The Doors at New Moods. Five 2 One have three exceptional dates in store for you.

With their provocative style, uncompromising attitude and limitless creativity, led by the charismatic Jim Morrison, The Doors became one of the most influential bands of the 70s, shaping both music and culture.

Five 2 One brings back part of this legendary repertoire and the New Moods will resonate like a true journey back in time, enhanced by the modern spirit of Morrison the poet.

20th Monaco International Organ Festival
@www.festivalorguemonaco.com

The Monaco International Organ Festival invites you to four concerts featuring diverse programs that showcase the rich instrumental heritage of the Principality, taking place at the Cathedral, the Church of the Sacred Heart, and Saint Charles Church.

The closing concert will feature the Pêr-Vari Kervarec Trio, which is much more than just a musical ensemble: it embodies a living tradition, a bridge between history and the present, between the ancient stones of French churches and cathedrals and the souls of those who come to listen. Pêr-Vari Kervarec performed on the steps of the Sainte-Dévote Church during the Prince’s wedding procession in 2011. The ensemble aims to evoke the spirit of the ancient Breton Grimaldi sites.

The famous arches of Stade Louis II

An Immersive exhibition “There Was a First Time” opened at Louis II Stadium to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

The exhibition is staged along the pedestrian walkway inside the stadium, newly renovated for the occasion, and will be open to the public for several months. It will highlight landmark firsts at the stadium: the first football match, the first world record, the first archery competition, the first concert, the first boxing gala and many others.

Thanks to archives, photographs and posters contributed by various organisations and bodies, visitors will have the opportunity to relive these historic occasions and gain a sense of the impact that the Louis II Stadium has had on sport and culture in Monaco.

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!
