The Venice Carnival lasts for 12 days, from the Saturday before carnival weekend until the following Sunday. The main events take place over carnival weekend itself, which usually is sometimes between mid February and early March. At carnival time, Venice is packed with party-goers in costume and tourists who are eager to experience this fascinating event! During the day parades weave their way through the streets, and performers keep the crowds entertained for hours. There is a free ball in St Mark¹s Square, but there are also numerous other masked balls and private parties throughout the duration of carnival. Venice has a carnival history of almost 1000 years: according to the earliest records, the Venice Carnival began in 1039, but only became popular in 1162 when grand celebrations were held after an important victory.

A great page on another of my favourite cities : ) | Nemorino Sat May 21, 2005 12:42 UTC
Fine tips and aerial views! Maybe the pigeons in St. Mark's trapezoid were on strike when you visited. |
