Venice Carnival 2026: what to plan (and when) 📅 31 January – 17 February 2026 🔥 Busiest days: weekends + last 4 days (best costumes, biggest crowds) Events worth scheduling your trip around • Opening Water Parade (Festa Veneziana sull’Acqua), Cannaregio, first weekend only • Festa delle Marie, historic parade from San Pietro di Castello to Piazza San Marco • Arsenale Evening Shows, immersive performances exclusive to Carnival (book ahead) What to eat (seasonal) 🍩 Frittelle Veneziane, Carnival-only pastry with cream or raisins. Disappears after February. Where to go for masks without crowds 📸 Riva degli Schiavoni at sunrise, quiet, dramatic light, full costumes 📸 San Giorgio Maggiore at sunset, wide lagoon views, far fewer people than San Marco Want the full Carnival experience? Rent a costume + attend a ball. You’re no longer a spectator, you’re part of the scene. Follow @glotrago for practical travel tips.
