The Redentore at Lido di Venezia: A Celebration of Tradition, Fireworks, and Unforgettable Festivities

Every year, on the third Sunday of July, Venice lights up with colors, magic, and tradition during the Feast of the Redentore. Originally a religious celebration giving thanks for the end of the devastating plague of 1576, it has since become an event that blends spirituality, spectacle, and conviviality.

The Tradition of the Redentore
The heart of the Redentore is the evocative boat procession that departs from St. Mark’s Basilica and crosses to the Church of the Redentore on Giudecca island, where a solemn mass is held. But it’s the evening fireworks display that truly captivates locals and visitors alike—a dazzling show of lights reflecting on the lagoon that illuminates the Venetian night.

Lido: Where the Party Continues
While Venice is the official venue, the Lido di Venezia becomes the perfect stage to experience the Redentore in a more informal yet equally thrilling way. After the fireworks, the island comes alive with numerous open-air beach parties and events at local venues. You’ll find dancing under the stars, shared laughter with friends and new acquaintances—a truly communal atmosphere.
