Day off for National Day in Monaco

Date: November 19

History: National Day in Monaco, also known as "La Fête du Prince," has historically been associated with the ruling Sovereign Prince's patron saint's day. The date was traditionally set on January 27th, Saint Devota’s feast day, who is the patron saint of Monaco. However, when Prince Rainier III ascended to the throne, he changed it to November 19th to honor his own patron saint, Saint Rainier. The tradition has continued with his son and successor, Prince Albert II.

Traditions: The day is marked by a variety of festivities that reflect Monaco's cultural heritage and the Grimaldi family's legacy. Some traditional activities include:

  • A Te Deum mass at the Cathedral of Monaco.
  • Award Ceremonies: Prince Albert II presents medals and honors to Monegasque citizens.
  • Public Concerts featuring the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra.
  • Fireworks: In the evening, a fireworks display lights up the sky.

What People Do: On National Day in Monaco, residents enjoy a public holiday allowing them to participate in or observe the various ceremonies and events. Many locals attend:

  • The military parade by the Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince (Prince's Company of Carabiniers).
  • The changing of the guard at the Prince's Palace.
  • Festive gatherings with friends and family.

Additionally, buildings are adorned with Monegasque flags and people dress in their finest attire to celebrate their national pride.
