The seasonal programme will take place in La Condamine, Boulevard des Moulins, Larvotto and Monte-Carlo, offering a wide range of free activities designed to attract residents and visitors throughout the holiday period.

Entertainment will include gospel choirs, appearances by Santa and his elves, and various Christmas-themed characters animating the streets.

Several areas will feature dedicated children’s zones, offering creative workshops, photo sessions with Santa, traditional carousels and a mailbox for sending letters to the North Pole.

The initiative is supported by the Princely Government and the Union des Commerçants et Artisans de Monaco.

Its aim is to encourage footfall in local shopping areas during the festive season while strengthening community spirit.

Full details of the programme, including locations and schedules for each activity, can be found on the government’s website monservicepublic.gouv.mc or through the YourMonaco app.
