Monaco’s most stylish charity event is back. The 12th edition of the Ladies Vintage Car Rally, organised by Child CARE Monaco, will take place on Sunday, September 7. This year’s theme, “French Riviera – Chic & Glamour”, invites participants to don their finest retro-chic attire for a day that blends elegance, camaraderie, and philanthropy.
Open once again to both women and men, the rally will follow its cherished tradition of glitz and generosity. Her Serene Highness Princess Stéphanie is expected to attend the event’s finish, where she will present the main prize to the winning team, joined by dignitaries from the Monaco Government and Town Hall.

As in previous years, the event is a fundraiser in support of Child CARE Monaco’s educational initiatives in India and South Africa, with 100 percent of proceeds going directly to these humanitarian projects.
Participants will gather at Casino Square at 8:15 for breakfast at the Café de Paris, with the rally officially starting at 9:45. The day includes a scenic drive with a road book, gourmet lunch at a Relais & Châteaux property with a renowned French chef, a surprise afternoon tea, and a cocktail reception at the Monte-Carlo Beach Club to close the event around 19:00. Entertainment and activities will run throughout the day, including a DJ, gifts, surprises, and the event’s legendary raffle.
Participants may enter with their own vintage car or rent one through the organisers, with optional chauffeur packages available.
Awards will be presented for overall jury favourite, best performance in the event quiz, and the most stylish outfit in line with the theme. As always, the raffle will offer an array of coveted prizes.
Registration is now open and will remain so until June 30. Businesses and sponsors interested in supporting the event or donating prizes for the raffle are encouraged to get involved. All contributors will have the opportunity to feature their logo in the official roadbook.
