#hello_monaco weekend: what to do on September 9th and September 10th
It’s Friday evening which means it’s high time to make plans for the weekend, not to mention that many people considere beginning of autumn the best time of the year.
In the center of this weekend is the traditional Monegasque picnic “U Cavagnëtu” bringing together Monegasques around the Princely family, held at Princess Antoinette Park on September 9th.
Just before the start of the school year, the last holiday weekend will be an opportunity for the national community to meet for the traditional Monegasque picnic.
The program remains typical: first a religious ceremony from 6 p.m., then a large buffet of local specialties to share in conviviality. It’s time to unpack your picnic basket in the paths of the park for a country dinner with family or friends.
This weekend you can also enjoy the traditional YCM Marina Concert, a unique event in collaboration with the Ferretti Group, Maneskin in Monaco, which will be held on 9th September 2023.

Nouveau Musée National de Monaco invites you to see its new exhibition “George Condo – Humanoids” open from Friday 31 March to Sunday 1 October 2023, in Nouveau Musée National de Monaco – Villa Paloma.
For George Condo, “the Humanoid is not a science fiction monster, but a depiction that uses traditional methods to bring a person’s inner emotions to the surface”. Over the course of eight sections, the exhibition traces the continuity of a profuse body of work that ranges from “space beings” to Who’s Who, from Guido Reni to Bugs Bunny. Featuring specially produced paintings, the exhibition offers a glimpse of the artist’s process of invention – as crazy as it is erudite – of humanoids.
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!
