Halloween in Monaco 2026 — The Best Things to Do for Adults and Children
Halloween in Monaco returns on Saturday 31 October 2026 with a full programme across the Principality — children's shows, magic workshops, a month-long funfair, an orchestral concert for young audiences, themed restaurant evenings and an opera performance — the Principality running both a daytime, family version of the holiday and a considerably more adult one after dark. Villa Monaco, three minutes from the Monaco border in Cap-d'Ail, sits close enough to all of it to make the whole day part of a single autumn stay.

Halloween for Children and Families in Monaco
14:00 – 17:30
Halloween at Parc Princesse Antoinette Residents only
Monaco's main family Halloween celebration, organised by the Mairie de Monaco. Children can meet costumed mascots, have their faces painted, take part in a mystery digging activity and make their own "magic potion," with sweets and cookies available throughout. A Halloween Show runs at 2:30pm, and a large Halloween game organised by La Boîte de Jeux runs in the lower section of the park. Important for visiting families: this event is reserved for children aged four and over who live or attend school in Monaco, so it's not generally open to tourists.
14:30 – 16:30
La Magie d'Halloween · New Moods
Designed for children aged 4 to 7, this afternoon at the Place du Casino's concert hall combines a 45-minute illusionist show with a Halloween sweet bar, a "magic potion" fountain, face painting, temporary tattoos, candy floss and creative workshops. Costumes are encouraged but not compulsory, and children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Tickets cost €65 per child, with accompanying adults entering free; reservation is required due to limited capacity. For the full season at the venue, see our New Moods Monte-Carlo 2026-2027 season guide.
Foire Attractions de Monaco · Port Hercule
The Principality's traditional autumn funfair, organised by the Mairie de Monaco, fills the harbour with rides, games and food stalls. Children's rides and food stands open from 11am, with all attractions running from 2pm. Since Halloween falls on a Saturday in 2026, the fair stays open until midnight that night, making it an easy stop to combine with Monaco's other Halloween events.
15:00
Harry Potter Family Concert · Auditorium Rainier III
The Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo presents Harry Potter et la sorcellerie dans la musique as part of its programme for young audiences — introducing children to orchestral music through a playful, accessible format built around the world of Harry Potter, well timed for Halloween afternoon. For more on the Philharmonic's own season, see our Music in Monaco guide.
Halloween Workshops · Nouveau Musée National de Monaco (NMNM)
A four-day Monotype Totémique workshop for children aged 7 to 11, inspired by the work and archives of Victor Brauner. The museum also runs family workshops suitable from age 5, including Créatures Magiques, where children use the Surrealist cadavre exquis technique to invent hybrid creatures — a fittingly imaginative activity for Halloween week. The NMNM is also part of Villa Monaco's own guide to art on the Côte d'Azur.
Terreur sur Charlot · Centre Culturel Prince Jacques de Monaco, Beausoleil
Just across the border from Monaco, several days of free Halloween activities — a costume exchange on 28 October, a giant Halloween-themed game of Werewolf and a creative workshop on 30 October, and a large Halloween evening with costumes and activities on 31 October. Costumes are strongly encouraged.
II · After Dark
Halloween for Adults in Monaco
31 October
Buddhalloween · Buddha-Bar Monte-Carlo
Open nightly from 6pm to 3am year-round, the Place du Casino lounge restaurant pairs its Asian fusion menu with carved pumpkins and a darker seasonal atmosphere through late October — building to its main Buddhalloween evening on 31 October with special culinary suggestions and costumes encouraged.
19:30 – 22:00
Dance Performance · Opéra de Monte-Carlo, Salle Garnier
For an elegant alternative to costumes and parties, the Opéra Garnier Monte-Carlo — designed by Charles Garnier and inaugurated in 1879 — hosts an evening dance performance, pairing well with dinner or drinks around Casino Square either before or after.
A Lucky Halloween · Casino Café de Paris
Open daily from 10am for slot machines and 4pm for gaming tables, the Casino Café de Paris dresses its 360 slot machines and gaming floor for the season.
Halloween Night · Jimmy'z Monte-Carlo
Open for more than 50 years and a regular stage for DJs including Bob Sinclar, Martin Solveig and Fatboy Slim, Jimmy'z has run its own theatrical Halloween night on 31 October in past seasons. Jimmy'z and the rest of Monaco's club scene are covered in full in Music in Monaco.
from 19:00
Día de los Muertos · The American Bar, Hôtel de Paris
The American Bar reimagines Mexico's Day of the Dead for the evening — with a DJ, dancers and makeup artists.
Around Place du Casino. For dinner or drinks on Halloween night more generally, the area around Casino Square is the easiest place to continue the evening — with restaurants, bars and venues traditionally embracing the occasion through decorations and special menus. Booking ahead is advisable, particularly for 31 October itself. For a wider sense of what the Principality has on through the rest of the month, see our Autumn at Villa Monaco guide.
III · The Itinerary
A Full Halloween Day in Monaco
With this many events landing on the same date, 31 October alone can carry a full itinerary. Families can start the afternoon at Parc Princesse Antoinette from 2pm (residents and students) or the Harry Potter family concert at Auditorium Rainier III at 3pm — both viable for visiting families. From there, Port Hercule's Foire Attractions runs until midnight, giving children rides and games well into the evening.
Adults can peel off toward Monte-Carlo for Buddhalloween, the Opéra Garnier's evening performance or one of Monaco's Halloween nightlife venues — all within a few minutes of each other around Casino Square. For the rest of what's on in Monaco this month, see the full Autumn at Villa Monaco guide.
The Principality running both a daytime, family version of the holiday — and a considerably more adult one after dark.
IV · Behind the Gate
A Private Halloween at Villa Monaco
For a group that would rather set its own tone — or simply wants somewhere of its own to return to after a day moving between Port Hercule and Casino Square — Villa Monaco's terraces and living spaces lend themselves naturally to a private Halloween evening.
For families, that can mean a trick-or-treat style evening around the villa's own grounds and a costume dinner for children, arranged through the villa's private chef — particularly useful for visiting families who find some of Monaco's own events, like Parc Princesse Antoinette, reserved for residents.
For adults, the same spaces work just as well for a themed dinner or cocktail evening, with the villa's own DJ setup available for a night that runs later than a restaurant booking allows. Both are available to guests renting the villa for the period, alongside the usual private chef and concierge service, who can also arrange transport to and from any of Monaco's own Halloween events. The same privacy that suits a Halloween evening is part of what's covered in Why Celebrities Love Villa Monaco.
V · Your Base
Villa Monaco — Three Minutes from Monaco
Villa Monaco is a private estate in Cap-d'Ail, three minutes from the Monaco border — close enough to reach Port Hercule, the Place du Casino or Beausoleil within minutes, while giving a group its own space to return to rather than a hotel room. For a side-by-side look at the difference, see our Luxury Villa or 5-Star Hotel on the Côte d'Azur guide.
Six suites sleep up to 14 guests — suited to a multigenerational group wanting both a children's afternoon at the funfair and an adult evening at Buddha-Bar or the Opéra without needing two separate bases. A heated infinity pool at 28°C through the end of October (covered in full in Autumn at Villa Monaco), a private gym, cinema and parking for up to 10 cars round out a stay built around a day with this much happening. A private chef and concierge handle the logistics — whether that means a Halloween dinner at the villa or transfers across the Principality.
