Family summer on Venice Lido: the Festa della Madonna di Marina in Malamocco

Among the most authentic summer events on Venice Lido, the Festa della Madonna di Marina is one of the most beloved celebrations for Venetian families.

The festival takes place every year on the second Sunday of July in the historic village of Malamocco and combines tradition, entertainment, and a lively local atmosphere in a safe and relaxed setting, perfect for children as well.

An Authentic Venetian Festival

For several days, Malamocco comes alive with evening music, shows, food stands, and festive moments that bring together residents and visitors.

Children can enjoy rides, games, and the cheerful atmosphere of the village festival, while adults discover the charm of one of the oldest settlements in the Venetian Lagoon.

Families can stroll through the historic streets, enjoy open-air dinners, and experience a side of Venice that feels completely different from the more tourist-filled areas.

The Historic Malamocco Regatta

One of the most fascinating moments of the festival is the traditional regatta, part of Venice’s historic rowing heritage.

The boats cross the Malamocco canal, creating an engaging spectacle that fascinates both adults and children. The regatta remains a symbol of the strong connection between the village and the sea.
