On Friday afternoon, July 8th, Monaco hosts one of its annual highlights: Baile da Rosa, who returns to the Principality after being suspended for the past two years due to the pandemic, a moment when you will be able to see most of the Grimaldi family show off their best dresses and suits.
This charitable tradition began in 1954, by Grace KellyIt takes place every year (except for the last few years) at the Salle des Etoiles in Sporting Monte-Carlo. The event usually takes place in March, but this year, due to the pandemic again, it has been postponed to July. In recent years, the eldest sons of the former Princess of Monaco have been presided over by the Princes Albert And the Carolina, And this year, the two brothers are expected to host the event again.
This party, which brings together the high society of the principality, as well as foreign dignitaries, has a solidarity goal. The amount raised in the event, during which sculptures and paintings are auctioned, is fully allocated Princess Grace Foundation, established in 1964, which supports humanitarian projects, helping children and young students. Currently, the head of the foundation is Princess Carolina.
It should be remembered that this year’s edition is inspired by the 1920s, with artistic guidance by Christian Louboutin.
