As the sunshine returns, Monaco comes alive. June marks the start of the summer season with a vibrant lineup of concerts, festivals, cultural gatherings, and family fun. Whether you’re a music lover, a culture seeker, or simply looking to enjoy the energy of the season, there’s something for everyone. Here’s your full guide to what’s happening this month in the Principality.

🎧 Music Takes Center Stage

On June 21, Port Hercule will light up with the sounds of DJ Mosimann during Monaco’s Fête de la Musique. But the beat starts earlier: on June 4, a jam session at the Marché de la Condamine sets the tone.

Classical music fans can enjoy the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, performing on June 5, 8, 10, 15, and 22 at the Rainier III Auditorium and Maison de France (with a tribute to Ravel on the 10th).

On June 28 at 7:00 PM, the Be Witness Christian music group performs at Place du Campanin, in a concert organized by the Diocese. Discounted tickets are available online.
