“Everyone on the sea!” is the slogan for this summer’s sea festival honoring St. Peter, patron saint of fishermen this coming Saturday, June 25, 2016.

Organized at the initiative of the Yacht Club of Monaco, this year’s festival counts with the close collaboration of a host of Monegasque institutions, including the Monaco City Council, the Rowing Club, the Pleasure Boats Society, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, the Oceanographic Museum, the scuba diving club, and the Monegasque association for the protection of nature.

A full day program inviting people to discover a host of water-based activities: giant water slide, stand-up paddling, rowing, sailing, scuba diving introductory sessions, plus a photography exhibition. The highlight will be a grand nautical parade between Monaco’s two harbors, preceded by a blessing at sea.
