From 28 October to 2 November, Monaco is celebrating Halloween with a wide range of events for all ages. Monaco Tribune has put together a guide to the festivities.
In recent weeks, it won’t have escaped anyone’s attention that the Principality has been decked out for Halloween. Giant moths and illuminated pumpkins adorn the Place du Casino, while the façades of Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, Hôtel Hermitage, Monte-Carlo Bay, the Casino de Monte-Carlo, Café de Paris, New Moods and Marlow are all decorated for the season. Shopping streets around the Place du Casino and Allée François Blanc have joined in with hanging witch hats, glowing pumpkins and black-and-orange insects. There’s no doubt about it: Halloween is in full swing this week in Monaco!
