La Fête du Prince Monaco

Today is La Fête du Prince Monaco in Monaco. This day, also known as National Day, is celebrated on November 19. The date is determined and can be changed by the current reigning prince of Monaco. Previous princes have chosen the feast day of the saint that they were named after.

This day is celebrated with a fireworks show, attended by many over the harbor on the night before the La Fête du Prince. The next day, an early morning mass is offered at the St. Nicholas Cathedral. After the mass, the Knights, ambassadors, and state officials congregate in the cathedral in their traditional uniforms for the people to see. People also wave and hang the Montesquieu flag in celebration.
