Some of the major events discussed include the Historical Regatta in September, celebrations for the Feast of the Redeemer in July, Venice Carnival in February, and the Venice Biennale which has promoted new artistic trends for over a century. Many of the traditions celebrate important historical and religious figures and moments for the region.
The Carnival of Venice is a centuries-old tradition centered around costumes and masks. During the carnival, which typically lasts two weeks leading up to Lent, masked people fill the streets bringing smiles, laughter and parades. The most important days are the last Thursday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. Today, St. Mark's Square remains the epicenter of celebrations, hosting events and awarding the best costume. Mask making also remains an important Venetian art, with shops throughout the city producing traditional papier-mâché masks as well as more modern designs.
Carnival in Venice by class 2c Campalto, Venicemariagraziaviel
The Venice Carnival was a yearly celebration where Venetians could wear masks and costumes and step outside of their usual social roles. It involved theatrical performances and celebrations throughout the city. During Carnival, personal identities and social classes were obscured as everyone participated in the festivities, wearing masks on the streets and in elaborate costumes at parties. The tradition of wearing masks in Venice dates back centuries and was an important part of Venetian culture and celebrations.
The main carnivals in Europe include the Carnival of Binche in Belgium, the Rijeka Carnival in Croatia, Notting Hill Carnival in England, and Carnaval de Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Islands. These carnivals feature parades, costumes, masks, music, dancing, competitions, and celebrations of the pre-Lenten season. The largest and most famous carnivals are the Carnevale di Venezia in Italy, Düsseldorf Carnival in Germany, and Le Carnaval de Nice in France, which attract many visitors each year and involve grand processions and masquerade balls.
St. Mark's Square is the main meeting place in Venice, lined by cafes, shops, and museums, and offering views of Venice's architecture and the sea. A half-day tour visits the islands of Murano, known for glassmaking, and Burano, known for lacemaking, where visitors can see these crafts made first-hand. The Rialto Bridge spans the Grand Canal and is one of Venice's most iconic landmarks.
The document provides information on various carnivals around the world, including:
- The Carnival of Binche in Belgium, which dates back to the 14th century and features costumes parades.
- The Rijeka Carnival in Croatia, where the mayor hands over the keys to the city and masks are central to celebrations.
- Notting Hill Carnival in England, which originated from Trinidad and is the second largest street festival worldwide.
The document provides information on various carnivals around the world. It describes the Carnival of Binche in Belgium, where costumed parades are held in the days before Lent and participants throw oranges. It also discusses carnivals in Rijeka, Croatia; Notting Hill, England; Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands; and Nice, France. Each carnival features parades, costumes, music, dancing and other festivities celebrating the period before Lent.
Calendimaggio 2024 will likely take place between May 8-11, 2024 in Assisi, Italy. The festival dates back centuries and celebrates the arrival of spring through parades, performances, and competitions between the town's two districts over four days. A jury of experts will determine which district wins the Palio banner based on their medieval reenactments and musical challenges.
The document provides information about carnivals and festivals in several countries, including Greece, Spain, Italy, and Turkey. It discusses the details of the large and historic Patras Carnival in Greece, the famous Venice Carnival in Italy featuring masks, the Las Fallas festival in Spain with giant statues that are burned, and Turkey's April 23rd Children's Day celebrating sovereignty and dedicated to children.
The origin of the Carnival of Venice dates back to 1094 when the Duke of Venice, Falier Vitale, first mentioned it in an official document. Under the motto "Semel in anno licet Insane" (once a year you can go crazy), the Carnival of Venice was established as a public event where residents could mock the rich by wearing masks. The transition from winter to spring allowed social tensions to be expressed through artistic events like plays, medieval music concerts, and elaborate costume parades.
The Carnival of Venice is an annual festival held before Lent in Venice, Italy, known for its elaborate masks. Masks have traditionally been an important part of the Venetian carnival, allowed between certain festivals and times of year so people could spend much of the year in disguise. Originally simple in design and decoration, mask making was a respected craft with mask makers having their own guild; however, cheaper mass-produced masks now threaten the historical Venetian mask making tradition.

1. CARNIVAL OF VENICE 2024
The Carnival of Venice 2024 (Carnevale di Venezia 2024) will take place between Saturday,
January 27, and Tuesday, February 13, 2024, in the beautiful city of Venice.
WHAT ARE THE DATES FOR THE CARNIVAL OF
VENICE 2024?
The Venice Carnival is an annual festival held in Venice, which starts 19 days before Lent and
ends on Shrove Tuesday (Mardi Gras), the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent.
Traditionally, the most important days of the Carnival are Fat Thursday (the last Thursday before
Lent), and Shrove Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday).
However, the greatest influx of tourists will be certainly recorded during the weekends of the
festival.
During the Carnival of Venice 2024, Fat Thursday will fall on February 8, and Shrove Tuesday
on February 13.
WHAT IS THE LOCATION OF THE VENICE
CARNIVAL 2024?
The Venice Carnival 2024 will take place, of course, in Venice, but through Venice we
understand both the main island, the other islands of the Venetian Lagoon, such as Murano,
Burano and Lido, but also the continental part of the city, represented by Mestre and Marghera.
Although the main events of the Carnival of Venice 2024 will take place in the historical center
of Venice, represented by the main island, certain events will be held in Mestre and Marghera, or
on the other islands of the Venetian Lagoon.
SHORT HISTORY OF THE CARNIVAL OF VENICE
The first information about a carnival in Venice dates back to 1094, when the word carnevale
was mentioned for the first time in a document signed by Doge Vitale Faliero.
2. Back then, the carnival was an event dedicated in particular to people from the lower classes,
who, through the anonymity guaranteed by masks, could relate with the nobility of the time.
The first official document declaring the Venice Carnival a public holiday dates back to 1296,
when the Senate of the Venetian Republic set it before Lent.
Starting with 1296, for the next few centuries, the Carnival lasted six weeks, usually between
December 26 and Ash Wednesday.
The Venice Carnival gave everyone the opportunity to hide their identity under a costume and
this inevitably led to some excesses.
On February 22, 1339, circulating masked around the city after nightfall was banned.
With a special decree of January 24, 1458, masked entry into sacred places was also prohibited,
and later the ban on masked prostitution was established as well.
Starting with 1703, it was also forbidden to go masked to casinos and gambling houses.
During the 18th century, the Carnival reached its maximum splendor and international
recognition, becoming famous throughout Europe, and Venice a destination that attracted
thousands of visitors.
Starting with 1797, when Napoleon invaded northern Italy, and later, during the subsequent
Austrian occupation, the tradition was interrupted for fear of rebellion.
Only on the islands of the Venice Lagoon, in particular Murano and Burano, the Carnival was
held, though in a more subtle manner.
In 1979, the centuries-old tradition of the Carnival of Venice was officially reborn, thanks to the
initiative of some citizen associations and the economic contribution of the Municipality of
Venice.
The individual annual editions of the modern Venetian Carnival were often dedicated to a basic
theme. Some editions were characterized by pairings with other Italian and European cities, thus
providing a further involvement of the event at an international level.
The theme of the Carnival of Venice 2023 was Take your time for the Original Signs, which
focused on the origin of the signs of the Zodiac and the symbols of earth, water, fire and air.
CALENDAR OF EVENTS FOR THE CARNIVAL OF
VENICE 2024
3. Starting with the first edition of the current Carnival of Venice, in 1979, a program of events and
a detailed calendar was established.
Unlike the Venetian Carnival of the past, which had an official duration of six weeks, the modern
one takes place for only 18 days in a row, but is full of individual events.
In addition to the official events, various private parties and masked balls are organized in the
beautiful Venetian palaces.
In these venues, due to the almost unchanged furnishings and atmosphere, it is possible to relive
the ancient splendors of the Venetian Carnival of the past.
As usual, the highlights of the Carnival of Venice 2024 will be:
• Saturday, January 27 – The Opening Parade of the Venice Carnival 2024, along the
Grand Canal;
• Sunday, January 28 – The Traditional Parade of the typical Venetian boats along the
Grand Canal;
• Saturday, February 3 – Festa delle Marie, in Piazza San Marco;
• Flight of the Angel (Volo dell’Angelo), in Piazza San Marco;
• Flight of the Eagle (Volo dell’Aquila), in Piazza San Marco;
• Best Mask Contest, the Grand Final, in Piazza San Marco;
• The Official Dinner Show and Ball of the Venice Carnival 2024.
