The Venice Carnival 2025

The Venice Carnival is one of the most spectacular events in the world, enchanting visitors with its centuries-old traditions, intricate masks, and unique atmosphere. In 2025, the lagoon city is ready to amaze once again, celebrating 300 years of Giacomo Casanova with a special edition titled “The Time of Casanova”, dedicated to the iconic figure of Venice’s most famous son.

A fairytale Carnival: between tradition and innovation

From February 14th to March 4th, Venice transforms into a massive open-air theater, where every corner of the city becomes part of a magical story.
