MONACO — October 25, 2026 — Monaco's annual "Nuit Blanche" (White Night) art festival is set to return on February 20, 2027, featuring a record number of contemporary art installations spread across the Principality.
Organized by the Monaco Department of Cultural Affairs, the festival invites artists from Monaco, France, Italy, and beyond to create site-specific works in public squares, gardens, and along the waterfront.
This year's theme, "Rêves Méditerranéens" (Mediterranean Dreams), will explore themes of migration, memory, and the shared cultural heritage of the Riviera. Highlights include an immersive light projection on the Prince's Palace and a sound installation in the Exotic Garden.
All events are free and open to the public, with shuttle buses running throughout the night to connect the various venues.
A full programme is available on the official Monaco Culture website.
