Venice: Planning Your Trip and Upcoming Events
Do you like the Theatre?: From October to May, you can see world class performances at the Teatro Goldoni. The Cini Foundation occasionally presents open air performances during the summer and if you've chosen Lido as your home away from home, the Teatro Perla offers a terrific program from June through September, and has begun to extend it's program through the quiet winter months. Film Lovers Rejoice!: Lido is the "in" place to be in during late August and early September (as well as the summer months on this posh first class beach) The world-famous International Film Festival is chock full of the latest films and celebrities! An experience you won't want to miss! It takes place from the end of August through the beginning of September every year. Contemporary Art is the focus of the Venice Biennale The Biennale takes place in its 51st edition, in July through November. This international festival takes place in the Giardini Pavilions in Castello Traditional Festivals are held throughout the year; September brings the spectacular Regata Storica in mid-Sept., a historical regatta in period costumes; November, the Day of the Madonna della Salute mid. Nov., and in May, the Day of the Sensa, when Venice renews her vows of marriage with the sea. The Day of Redentore is held on the third Sunday in July, culminating in an extraordinary fireworks display.
The Carnival is probably the biggest single event of the Venetian calendar. Carnivale runs for the ten days preceding Mardi Gras, and the entire city is given over to costumed revels, impromptu street concerts, and pageants and balls of every kind. This is an experience you will treasure for a lifetime! Courtesy of www.venicerentals.com
