Festa del Redentore 2027: 17–18 July in Venice
Venice Redentore 2027: fireworks night on Saturday 17 July, religious celebration on Sunday 18, votive bridge and practical planning tips.
The Redentore follows a stable Venetian tradition: the religious celebration falls on the third Sunday in July, while the main night of celebrations and fireworks takes place on the Saturday before. In 2027 that means Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 July.
Why the 2027 dates are certain
The Festa del Redentore is tied to the third Sunday in July. In 2027 that Sunday is 18 July, so the traditional fireworks night falls on Saturday 17 July. These calendar dates do not depend on a separate annual announcement.
Saturday 17 July: fireworks night
On Saturday evening, St Mark’s Basin becomes the focus of the celebration, with decorated boats, dinners along the waterfront and the traditional fireworks. The exact show time, viewing areas, any reservations and access rules are decided for each edition and should not be copied from the previous year.
Sunday 18 July: the religious celebration
Sunday centres on the religious tradition around the Church of the Redentore on Giudecca. A temporary votive bridge links the Zattere with Giudecca for the festival and is one of the celebration’s defining symbols.
Planning your journey back
This is one of the busiest summer weekends in Venice. If you are staying in Marghera, leaving the car at the apartment and using public transport avoids some of the pressure around Piazzale Roma and Tronchetto. Any special ACTV services or diversions should be checked shortly before the event.
What still needs annual confirmation
Public viewing arrangements, bookable areas, exact fireworks time and operational details are not fixed. Once the City publishes the 2027 plan, check access rules, reservations, transport changes and the votive bridge timetable.
Marghera Venice Apartments tip
