About this event
International pyrotechnic teams choreograph fireworks to music over Port Hercule, with the harbour and the Rock as a stage set. This is the second of the two August evenings; displays start at half past nine, with free concerts before and after. Watch from the public quays — Quai Albert 1er and Avenue d'Ostende are the standard vantage points and cost nothing.
Why we picked it
A world-class fireworks competition that is genuinely free from the public quaysides, in a city where little else is.
Free entry
Organisers describe the competition as entirely free, drawing thousands of spectators in Monaco's public spaces; free concerts are programmed before and after each display. Note: some seated or garden vantage points sold or allocated separately are not covered by this.
