Festa della Sensa: An Ancient Bond to Experience with the Whole Family

On June 1st, 2025, Venice celebrates the Festa della Sensa, the ancient ceremony that honors the city’s deep connection with the sea, through rituals, regattas, and special events for both adults and children.

To mark the occasion, we recommend a unique evening at MUNAV – the Naval History Museum, perfect also for families staying at the Lido:
From 7:30 PM to midnight, the museum opens its doors for a special nighttime event exploring the fascinating world of Venetian seafaring.

Enjoy free visits with audio guides, guided tours of the Enrico Dandolo submarine (with reservation), and exclusive evening access to the atmospheric Ship Pavilion — all designed to be engaging for children too.

For adults, the evening continues with live DJ music and two drinks included with the ticket, in a unique setting featuring DJs Tommy Vee and Michele Menini.

From Hotel Rivamare, it’s easy to reach Venice and enjoy this magical evening with your family — an experience that blends history, culture, and fun.
