As every year, the Principality is getting ready to celebrate on November 19: concerts, shows for young audiences, comedy, giant Stockfish and fireworks are on the bill for the 2025 edition.
The celebrations kick off on Saturday 15 November with a family performance (in French) of the classic Treasure Island at the Espace Léo Ferré. It is specially adapted for children aged five and over.
Tuesday 18 November will be one of the highlights of this year’s festival, with the appearance of French group Superbus. Led by Jennifer Ayache, the 5-piece group will be onstage at 9pm, and just a few days after performing at Le Zénith in Paris. They’ll be playing their earlier classics from the 2000s, as well as tracks from their seventh album. This will be preceded at 8.10 pm by a ‘pyromelodic’ show that will light up Port Hercule, with free access.
On Wednesday 19 November, National Day, comedian Philippine Delaire will take to the stage at Espace Léo Ferré at 6pm with her show “Fille à papa” (Daddy’s Girl). Discovered on social media during lockdown, she performs a one-woman show full of self-deprecation and personal thoughts on family and the passing of time.
Keeping traditions alive at La Condamine
La Condamine market will be hosting traditional 19 November entertainment from 9am. On the menu: tastings of local specialities until 2pm, the unmissable giant stockfish served at lunchtime and festive musical entertainment in the evening.
