This exceptional, flexible venue is ideal for hosting all kinds of events: gala dinners, VIP evenings, shows, exhibitions of all kinds, car shows, product launches and sporting events.
This large-capacity venue can accommodate up to 1,600 people seated for a gala dinner and 1,800 people for a cocktail party. The installation of additional bleachers means that the marquee can accommodate up to 3,800 people, and almost 6,000 visitors if the outdoor esplanades are used.
Since 1986, the Espace Fontvieille Big Top has been a "fixed" institution, marking the continuity of the flagship event for which it was created and designed on the initiative of Prince Rainier III of Monaco, the Monte-Carlo International Circus Festival.
Since 2005, H.S.H. Princess Stéphanie has held the Presidency of the world's biggest circus festival, and at the Gala evening she presents the ultimate distinction in circus arts: the 'Golden Clown'!
