Festa Veneziana sull' aqua

The Festa Veneziana on the water is the formal start of Carnival in Venice? It starts with a wonderful light parade on the canals in the evening, followed by a day time event on the water of Cannaregio.  Check the time and date on carnevale.venezia.it.

Glass Show with live music

Picture
A glass blowing art show in the Glass Cathedral - the former Chiesa Santa Chiara on Murano - is a special experience. Unique are the shows on Friday and Saturday with live music. The craftsmanship of the Glass Masters is impressive and the exclusive surroundings and soft music make your visit unforgettable. It is not a shop or factory, so no intrusive sales people.  Murano with its many glass ateliers is only 15 minutes by boat from Venice City.​

The flight of the Angel

Ever seen a stunning beauty  abseiling into St Mark’s Square? The Flight of the Angel has its roots  in the mid 16th century. It is one of the most popular spectacles of the carnival. Check the time and date on carnevale.venezia.it.

See and be seen in Caffé Florian

Picture
​ Follow the example of famous Venetian like Goldoni, Giuseppe Parini, Silvio Pellico and visit Caffè Florian.  You find this mythical place under the arcades on Piazza San Marco. It is considered the oldest Café in Europe and is still is a meeting place for the best dressed Venetians and visitors during Carnival. The popularity of Caffé Florian  in the 18th century probably had something to do with the fact that it was the only venue in Venice where women were allowed to enter.
