Venice Carnival Street Show – Saturday January 31st, 2026
A new edition of the Venice Carnival Street Show, featuring a grand celebration of diverse performing arts that brings life to the squares of Venice, the city center of Mestre, the islands of the Lagoon, and the centers of the Municipalities. A universe suspended between gods, heroes, and trials of strength, where play becomes challenge, creativity, and fun.
Venice and all its streets turn into paths of wonder leading to an imaginary Olympus, brought to life by more than three hundred and fifty heroic street performers, eighty companies, and one thousand live show performances.
Circus-theatre, clowning, parades, and storytellers come together for an Olympiad of entertainment that will ignite the imagination of audiences of all ages.
The festivities begin with a special preview on Saturday, January 31st and Sunday, February 1th, 2026, in Piazza San Marco and Piazza Ferretto. The celebration then reaches its peak on Saturday, February 7th and Sunday, February 8th, continuing through the height of the “Fat Week” festivities from Monday February 9th to Tuesday, February 17th, 2026.
The program may be subject to changes.
