July
Fireworks over Giudecca and occasional summer lightning illuminate balmy summer
nights on the lagoon, and performances by jazz greats end sunny days on a sultry
note.
Festa del Redentore
Walk on water across the Giudecca Canal to Il Redentore via a bobbing, wobbly pontoon
bridge the third Saturday and Sunday in July. Join the massive floating picnic along the
Zattere, and don't miss the fireworks. (

Marco with a full orchestra. Check the calendar for shows in Vicenza, Verona and Treviso
