Come along to a circus party! The Grand Circus Parade in the city and the Open-Air Circus Show in the Place du Palais - Saturday, 13 January from 2pm

To celebrate the centenary of the birth of Prince Rainier III and the 50th anniversary of this event, which the prince created in 1974 and has now become an unmissable event in the circus world, the Monte-Carlo International Circus Festival is organising a grand parade in the city and the Open-Air Circus Show on the Place du Palais.

There will be lots of decorated floats, artists in costume, elephants, horses, the festival orchestra, crazy clowns who will provide the musical entertainment for the Parade, and the little tourist train that will set off from the Chapiteau de Fontvieille at 2pm to reach the Place du Palais at 2.30pm on Saturday, 13 January 2024.

A huge buffet will await the elephants, and there’s going to be a unique open-air show to delight all ages.

The audience will be treated to a breathtaking performance as a tightrope walker crosses the Place du Palais at a height of 25 metres over a distance of 80 metres.

Then, for the very first time in Europe, a troupe of artists from the United States will be performing the circus's star attraction: flying trapeze under the Monaco sky.

Audiences will be able to witness these incredible artists and their amazing performances at the festival, which kicks off on Friday, 19 January 2024.

The show is open to all, free of charge.

Come and join us for this unforgettable show!
