Venetian Festival

JOIN US FOR OUR 85TH YEAR
 

As we are planning for the 2015 festival, take a look at the SCHEDULE OF EVENTS  to get a glimpse for what takes place during this week long event!

 

What began 85 years ago as a simple candle-lit boat parade has grown into a week-long flurry of color and pageantry that highlights the summer season and attracts tens of thousands of visitors.

 

The Festival offers a wonderful variety of events geared to delight and entertain every age group. Most events take place within waterfront parks, Round Lake Harbor and Lake Charlevoix.

NEW TO THIS YEAR - SHUTTLE SERVICE

In order to help festival goers participate in more of the fun, the Midnight Madness shuttle service will be running back-and-forth between downtown and Castle Farms throughout the Venetian Festival. 

Look for the shuttle pick-up station downtown at the corner of Bridge Street and Belvedere Ave so that you can take part in the Castle Garden Games and Artisan's Market. Also, enjoy this years Friday and Saturday evening entertainment and fireworks by parking at Castle Farms, then taking the shuttle to downtown and back.
