Historic Fiat 500s Return to Monaco: The Monaco International Meeting Takes Over Port Hercule on July 18–19

The Principality of Monaco is preparing to welcome one of the most anticipated events for classic car enthusiasts. On July 18 and 19, 2026, Port Hercule will host the 6th Monaco International Meeting of Historic Fiat 500s, an annual gathering organized by the Club Fiat 500 Monte-Carlo that attracts participants and collectors from across Europe.

More than just a classic car rally, the event is a celebration of automotive heritage, Italian culture, and timeless style, offering two days of entertainment, live music, and family-friendly activities in one of the Mediterranean’s most prestigious settings.

Monaco Pays Tribute to the Legendary Fiat 500

The undisputed star of the event will be the Fiat 500, one of the world’s most beloved automobiles and an enduring symbol of Italian design and post-war innovation.

The 2026 edition will also commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Fiat 500 “Topolino”, first introduced in 1936. The celebration traces the evolution of the iconic model through to the famous 1950s Fiat 500, a car that became synonymous with La Dolce Vita and continues to embody Italian elegance—perfectly matching the glamour of the Principality of Monaco.

A Celebration Inspired by the 1970s

This year’s edition embraces the vibrant spirit of the 1970s, a decade remembered for its distinctive fashion, unforgettable music, and cultural revolution.

Throughout the weekend, Port Hercule will be transformed into a lively vintage village where flared trousers, colorful shirts, retro sunglasses, and nostalgic décor will recreate the atmosphere of the era.

One of the highlights will be the free live concert by ABBA TIME, a tribute band performing the greatest hits of the legendary Swedish pop group, turning Quai Albert Ier into an open-air dance floor.
