Save the Oceans, Save the World!


So you wanna see Madonna. Well, here is your chance!

This year the Monaco Yacht Show joins forces with the Event Committee of the 2nd edition of the Monte-Carlo Gala for the Global Ocean that will be held this year on the terraces of Opera Garnier on the opening day of the Monaco Yacht Show, Wednesday 26 September 2018.

Chaired by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, the Monte-Carlo Gala for the Global Ocean will bring together international artists and renowned philanthropists committed to actions for marine protection.

Organized by the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, the event will present an auction of exceptional lots: unique experiences, collection objects and a selection of art pieces signed by the most famous artists to support the Foundation’s initiatives for sustainable oceans.

Since its inception in 2006, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation has placed the concerns of the ocean issue at the core of its actions: there needs to be a better understanding of the environmental dangers that oceans are coping with, fighting against plastic pollution, protecting threatened species, promoting new and sustainable solutions for oceans, reinforcing and developing the protected marine areas.

And this year, there is a long list of celebrities who will be in attendance.

The Monte Carlo Gala for the Global Ocean announced the impressive list of celebrities who will serve as Event Chairs and Co-Chairs for the 2018 Gala, lending their names and support to the evening, to engage for the future of a sustainable ocean alongside the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation.

Presided by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, a Head of State deeply involved with the protection of the environment and a global leader in the battle to save the ocean, and hosted by Global Fundraising Chairman Milutin Gatsby, renowned philanthropist and initiator of this event, the 2018 Monte Carlo Gala for the Global Ocean includes as Event Chairs, Madonna, Adrien Brody, Orlando Bloom, Andy Garcia, Pierce Brosnan, Goldie Hawn, Hugh Grant, Eva Longoria, Olga Kurylenko, Robert F Kennedy Jr, Diane Lane and Chris Tucker.
With an exceptional auction led by Simon de Pury, the proceeds of the Gala will support the Foundation’s priority marine programmes: plastic pollution, scientific studies on acidification, coral protection, marine protected areas, endangered species and innovative technologies.

The inaugural 2017 Gala also enabled the Foundation to implement 37 new marine conservation projects around the world and 2 programmes to fight against plastic pollution.

The Dolly Party In Nice 2018!

Everyone is highly anticipating one of the best outdoor events of the summer… the Dolly Party is back!

The party happens this year at Place du Pins in Nice on Tuesday, August 14 starting at 6pm until midnight.

You’ll know when you are at the right location when you hear the dance music from blocks away pumping out to the crowd. 

This year will be the biggest in terms of the selection of DJ’s who include: DJ Ben Crafter, DJ Lucy (Le Glam), DJ Leomeo (L’Omega), DJ Nicolas Dermen (Face) B2B Olive – R (Elektrische) and DJ Jisse (Paris / Le Malabar).
As with past Dolly Parties, entrance from any of the streets towards Rue Bonaparte is free and everyone is requested to wear white attire to feel more a part of the atmosphere of the event.
The Dolly Party raises funds for the Centre LGBT Cote d’Azur thanks to the local businesses and organizations who set up right outside their restaurants and bars at the location selling drinks and merchandise making it not only a great evening out but a wonderful cause to contribute too.

The overall theme this year is Sea, Sex, Sun and White Party!
So make this summer count and enjoy!
