The Venice Sun Fiesta is one of the city’s most beloved and long-standing traditions, bringing together locals and visitors for a fun-filled weekend celebrating the spirit of Venice. Sponsored by the Women’s Sertoma Club of Venice, this family-friendly festival features live music, arts and crafts vendors, delicious food, a beer and wine garden, a children’s area, and one of the most unique traditions of the event: the bed races down Venice Avenue.
