Each spring, the city of Cannes becomes the gravitational center of the cinematic world. From May 12 to 23, 2026, the 79th Cannes Film Festival will unfold along the famed red carpet of the Palais des Festivals, beneath a haze of camera flashes, whispered names, and deliberate elegance. Since 1946, this iconic event has celebrated cinema in all its forms — poised between glamour and artistic ambition, between spectacle and conscience, between global premieres and intimate discoveries.
The 2026 Monaco Grand Prix, scheduled from June 5 to 7, will once again turn the streets of Monte Carlo into the most prestigious theatre of speed in the world. More than a race, it is a ritual—an annual ballet of acceleration, precision, and glamour set against the cliffside geometry of the principality. Born in 1929 and established as a Formula 1 icon since 1950, the Monaco Grand Prix is not just a fixture of the calendar: it is the soul of racing, a test of nerve where the barriers are unforgiving, the overtakes rare, and every turn etched in legend.
