This weekend is the final day of the International musical fireworks competition organized by the Mairie de Monaco on Saturday 22 July at 9.30 pm, Port Hercule and Port de Monaco. After France, Austria, USA it’s the turn of the last finalist, team Australia.

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.

Ever since its 31st edition, in 1996, this pyrotechnical contest has become pyromelodic, with rhythm and melody going hand in hand during shows.

"Les Musicales"

But stay in the Port de Monaco a little longer after the fireworks end, as at 10 p. m. you’ll enjoy “Les Musicales” – Tribute to Cold Play”, organised by Monaco City Hall. Launched in the summer of 2004, these free evenings organized by the Animation Department of the City Hall of Monaco meet constant success, in a festive and warm atmosphere, with a mixed public of residents and locals at each concert. Further information:  +377 93 15 06 02

Концерт итальянского певца Paolo Conte

Monte-Carlo Sporting Summer Festival continues this weekend with two concerts. On Saturday 12th of August Paolo Conte will be in concert at the Salle des Étoiles.  With his gravelly voice of an Italian Tom Waits, his melodies with a touch of jazz, a bit of blues, a little “canzone”, his art of blurring the cards, his false melancholy and his black humour, Paolo Conte will charm the international audience once more at the Monte-Carlo Sporting Summer Festival with this natural class that only belongs to him.

Price 253,50 € per person excluding drinks.
