Rokethon animal charity event returns to Fontvieille
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
The Rokethon animal welfare event returns to the Chapiteau de Fontvieille on Sunday 27 September, with Princess Charlène attending alongside SPA Monaco.
The Chapiteau de Fontvieille hosts the Rokethon this Sunday, 27 September, the annual event dedicated to animal welfare organised in partnership with SPA Monaco. Princess Charlène, a regular supporter of the cause, is expected to attend, continuing her long-standing involvement with the association.
The day's centrepiece is the solidarity walk, which draws residents and their pets through Fontvieille in support of the SPA's work rehoming abandoned and mistreated animals. Previous editions have combined the walk with stalls, demonstrations and appeals for adoption, and organisers are expecting a similar format this year.
For residents in the Fontvieille district, the event brings a temporary but well-established addition to the weekend calendar, with road access around the Chapiteau likely to see increased footfall and short-term parking pressure on the day.
