The Principality of Monaco is gearing up for another celebration of diversity and inclusion as Monaco Pride 2026 takes center stage on Wednesday, July 8, 2026. Now in its fourth year, the event continues to grow as a beacon of visibility and unity for the LGBTQ+ community on the French Riviera.
A New Venue for a Growing Movement
This year’s Pride celebration will be hosted at the newly rebranded Stars of Monaco (formerly known as Marius), located at 6 Quai Antoine Ier. The event runs from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and best of all — entry is completely free.
The move to Stars of Monaco reflects the event’s continued growth and the community’s desire to reach an even wider audience. The waterfront venue along Quai Antoine Ier offers a stunning backdrop for an evening dedicated to equality, inclusion, and community spirit.
Four Years of Pride in Monaco
Since its inception, Monaco Pride has brought together members of the LGBTQ+ community, allies, residents, and supporters from across the Principality and beyond. Co-founders Lorenzo Turco, Hervé Aeschbach, and Annette Anderson have been instrumental in building this annual celebration into a meaningful event that combines powerful speeches, networking, and a genuine sense of belonging.
Each year, the event has drawn a more diverse and enthusiastic crowd, signaling Monaco’s evolving commitment to LGBTQ+ visibility and acceptance. The evening typically features speeches from community leaders, local advocates, and public figures who champion equality and human rights.
More Than Just a Celebration
While Monaco Pride is certainly a celebration, it is also a platform for advocacy and awareness. The event organizers work closely with local charities and organizations, including Fight Aids Monaco, to promote health initiatives and community support networks. Barclays Private Bank and Stars’N’Bars have previously hosted Pride month cocktail events, demonstrating the growing corporate support for LGBTQ+ inclusion in the Principality.
The theme for 2026 continues to focus on equality, inclusion, and community building — values that resonate far beyond the LGBTQ+ community and speak to the heart of what makes Monaco a welcoming destination for residents and visitors alike.
