September in Monaco: yachts, music, books, and major events

The Principality of Monaco is preparing for a September packed with events ranging from culture to sport, from music to glamour, confirming its role as the vibrant capital of the French Riviera.

The month will open with live music: on Thursday, September 4, the Grimaldi Forum will host an intimate concert by the group Pat Kalla, part of the Thursday Live Sessions.

On September 12, a beloved tradition returns: the Ballo del Marché de la Condamine, a popular celebration that officially closes the summer with convivial dinners and dancing under the stars.

Mid-month, on September 13, a brand-new event debuts: the Monaco Card Show, dedicated to the world of collectible cards — from Pokémon to Disney, from Marvel to Panini.

On September 16, sporting tradition meets charity with the Princess of Monaco Cup, a golf tournament at the Monte-Carlo Golf Club organized by the Princess Charlène Foundation. The iconic “19th hole” on Place du Casino will offer a spectacular finale for both players and spectators.

From September 19 to 21, Fontvieille will host the art3f contemporary art fair, showcasing more than 3,500 works including paintings, sculptures, and photographs.

On September 21, classical music makes its comeback with the opening concert of the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra at the Auditorium Rainier III. The same day also marks the return of football, as AS Monaco faces FC Metz at Stade Louis-II.

September is above all the month of sailing: from September 10 to 13, the spectacular Monaco Classic Week will gather historic sailboats and vintage yachts in a true maritime ballet. Then, from September 24 to 27, the spotlight turns to the Monaco Yacht Show, an international event featuring 120 superyachts and 60 tenders, with a special focus on sustainable navigation.

Fashion lovers have until October 5 to visit the exhibition “Les Années folles de Coco Chanel” at Villa Paloma, retracing the style and influence of the designer during the Roaring Twenties.

The month will close on September 28 with a celebration of sport across borders: AS Monaco will take part in the second edition of the Festival of Sport in Ventimiglia, once again strengthening the bond between the Principality and the Italian Riviera.

In just a few weeks, Monaco will unveil a program that is a true reflection of its identity: international glamour, culture, elite sport, and local conviviality.
