Venice’s most unforgettable festival: An exclusive gondola experience at Il Redentore, on the third Saturday evening of July.

Celebrated since 1567, Il Redentore is a feast of festivities held every third Saturday in July. Decorated gondolas line the canals, reflections and lights play out in the water, silhouetted spires and domes provide the backdrop. It is the best day of the year to be in Venice and we arrange exclusive experiences for guests wishing to explore the beauty of the celebrations.

The visuals are exquisite, so many lights and colors bouncing around the ancient canals. Regattas and rowing competitions add drama to the day, while a service at Redentore Church imbues spirituality.

This is a festival for the Venetians themselves and a local guide will show you its local side.

All our experiences can be individually customized to your interests. We specialize in creating unique memories through an intimate local knowledge and understanding of Italia.
