UPDATED ON 5/24/21
As we continue to adapt to the challenges of planning events during the COVID-19 era, we appreciate your patience and understanding. We have been working within the confines of the City of Venice municipal government’s moratorium on large special events to create smaller events that are permissible. Once the City of Venice begins issuing permits, we will update the list below. Public health and safety are our utmost concern, as we try to offer new downtown shopping and dining promotional events to help our struggling local businesses, which were highly impacted over the past year. Below is a list of tentative events. Please note they are subject to change or cancellation should city, county, state or federal mandates and CDC guidelines change.
Please check back on this page as we keep it updated throughout the year. For information about other community-wide events held by other organizations, please go to our MONTHLY CALENDAR and ANNUAL EVENTS pages.
