The most famous night of the Venetian summer
The Festa del Redentore is Venice’s most heartfelt and spectacular event: a perfect mix of history, faith, tradition… and pure fun!

Redentore: the Festival that Lights Up Venice
The Festival of the Redentore is much more than a summer event: it is one of the most authentic moments of Venetian life.
Born as a religious celebration marking the end of the plague in 1577, it has grown into a collective tradition that blends devotion, history, and festivity.
Boats gather in the lagoon, decorated for the occasion, families dine together on the water, and the whole city awaits the magnificent fireworks display over St. Mark’s Basin.
It is a night that celebrates rebirth and community, where the sacred and the profane meet in a vibrant atmosphere. For Venetians, it’s truly the Redentore on the water that marks the rhythm of summer.
When is the Festival of the Redentore?
Every year, on the third Saturday of July, the city comes alive: the calli are filled with life, the lagoon overflows with festively decorated boats, and the air is charged with celebration.
For Venetians, the Redentore is much more than a simple anniversary: it’s their New Year’s Eve on the water, a magical night of lights, music, and breathtaking fireworks.
When is the Redentore 2026?
In 2026, the Festival of the Redentore will take place on Saturday, July 18th
