#hello_monaco weekend: what to do on October 22nd and October 23rd
Do you have plans for the weekend? You’d better do, as it’s already Friday. And just in case you need help with that, HelloMonaco selected some interesting events for you.
No doubt all eyes this weekend will be drawn to SPORTEL Awards. After a 2021 edition rich in discoveries, meetings and sharing with many Tokyo 2020 medalists, SPORTEL Awards invites you this year from October 22 to 24, 2022!
As it has been done for many years, SPORTEL Awards will honor the most beautiful sports sequences of the year but also champions from all walks of life and of international renown. Signing sessions, public screenings or even exclusive meetings will be organized during these three days of festivities dedicated to sport.
After last year’s success, the “Festival des Etoilés Monte-Carlo” is back for another edition in 2022! This year, the fourth event in the series will be hosted by Le Grill at the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo. Join on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 October for a lunch and two four-hands dinners, brought to you by Dominique Lory, and creator of the “cucina pop”, Davide Oldani.
On Friday October 21 and Saturday October 22, 2022, the great Monaco Red Cross Braderie will take place under the Chapiteau de Fontvieille. This traditional sale is one of the key events of the year. This is an opportunity for people in Monaco and surrounding towns to combine good business and solidarity.
Since 2003, date of the first big sale, which at the time was organized in front of the forecourt of the Red Cross, this solidarity event has continued to develop. The Grande Braderie de la Croix Rouge allows you to spend a moment of conviviality and to discover in a fun way the values of the International Movement of the Red Cross and Red Crescent while doing a good deed.
Last year for 2 days, about 3,000 visitors came to the Sale. The total amount of profits collected amounted to nearly €100,000, which throughout the year was devoted to the many actions carried out by the Red Cross.
During these two days, everyone will be able to find their happiness at a very low price with luxury clothes, for babies, children, women and men. You will also find pretty leather goods, fashion accessories, childcare equipment, toys, furniture, decorative objects, jewellery…
This is an opportunity to make very good deals and make real findings, while doing a united and eco-responsible action. Get ready, the best deals are made at the opening!
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 October 22, there will be a “Wine and Cheese 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, producers will offer their artisanal products.
