Venice Carnival 2026: Experience Olympus from the heart of the city

April 14 2026

The Venice Carnival 2026 returns from January 31st to February 17th with an extraordinary theme: Olympus – At the Origins of Play. Eighteen days of magic, tradition and spectacle in the heart of the Serenissima, in an Olympic year celebrating the universal power of play, challenge and beauty.

A Carnival of tradition and innovation From the Flight of the Angel in St. Mark's Square to the masked parades along the Grand Canal, from grand eighteenth-century balls inspired by "Bridgerton" to theatrical performances in every campo and campiello, Carnival 2026 promises unforgettable emotions. This year the celebration becomes more sustainable, with the definitive farewell to plastic confetti and streamers to respect the lagoon's fragility. Among the highlights: events dedicated to the Olympic world, historical re-enactments, open-air concerts and the traditional March of the Maries celebrating Venetian beauty and elegance.
