The most popular event in Venice is back: ten days of dressing up, shows, music, games and colours. The city explodes with fun and laughter and huge festive crowds fill the salon of Piazza San Marco and thousands of other squares in the city. Free shows, period costume parades, concerts, living history, children's entertainment, wild all-night dancing, food tasting and other sensory experiences. This is Carnival. A sense-stimulating experience to suit everyone's tastes.
