A major summer event in Monaco
Organised as a dinner and show, the Gala takes place in the Salle des Étoiles at the Sporting Monte-Carlo, one of the most emblematic venues of the Monegasque summer. Chaired by H.S. H . Prince Albert II, the evening celebrates the commitment of the Monegasque Red Cross and the generosity of those who support its missions.
New for 2026: a preview of SOUL!
For the 2026 edition, the big news is the preview of SOUL! (where legends come back) An Exclusive Show, produced by Sporting Monte-Carlo. Presented during the Monegasque Red Cross Gala, this new show offers a powerful journey through Afro-American music, from past to present.
SOUL! then returns over the course of the summer for ten other dates at the Monte-Carlo Summer Festival in Monaco, giving this preview a very special resonance in the 2026 programme.
The history of the Monegasque Red Cross Gala
Since 1948, the Monegasque Red Cross has been organising charity events to fund its humanitarian work. According to the official history of the institution, the Red Cross Gala was instituted in 1957 and, over the decades, has become an international highlight of the Monegasque summer, associated with renowned artists and a much-awaited tombola.
More recently, the event has taken a short break to the Place du Casino in 2021 and 2022, before returning to the Salle des Étoiles in 2023. Today, the Gala continues this singular tradition, at the crossroads of prestige, entertainment and solidarity.
