Tickets and Admission for the Festa del Redentore 2027
The Festa del Redentore is a free public event. In recent years, however, a free reservation through the city's online platform has been required to access viewing areas along the waterfront for the fireworks. Exact reservation details for 2027 will be published by the City of Venice in due course.
Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation in Venice
- Venice becomes extremely crowded on this weekend, so arriving early on the day of the event is strongly recommended
- A spot on a boat in the lagoon offers the best view of the fireworks but should be arranged well in advance
- Alternatively, the Zattere, Fondamenta della Giudecca and Riva degli Schiavoni areas are good spots to watch from land
- Accommodation in Venice should be booked early given the high demand over this weekend
