Celebrated in mid-July, the Festa del Redentore commemorates the end of the plague that struck Venice between 1575 and 1577. This deeply cherished tradition draws locals and visitors alike for the iconic Redentore picnic and stunning fireworks display over the water. The highlight is the votive bridge, connecting the Zattere to the Church of Redentore on Giudecca, designed by Andrea Palladio. A symbol of hope and resilience, this festival is an unmissable experience in Venice.
