Halloween takes over Monaco's events calendar this week
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
Candy hunts, children's parties and an extended funfair mark half-term week as Halloween spreads across Monaco's events programme.
With school holidays in full swing, Halloween has found its way into nearly every event on offer in the Principality this week. The Foire Attractions on the Port Hercule has extended its run to make the most of half-term crowds, with stalls and rides dressed up for the occasion well beyond its usual closing date.
Families will find candy hunts organised across several venues, giving younger residents a reason to explore different corners of Monaco in costume. Children's parties with Halloween themes are also on the calendar, aimed squarely at the half-term crowd rather than the evening nightlife scene.
For residents used to Monaco's more understated autumn calendar, this year's spread of decorations and themed activity marks a noticeably bigger push than in previous years. Parents planning a week out with children should check specific venue times, as many of these events are tied closely to the school holiday dates and will wind down once term resumes.
