A Rich Tradition of Fun and Community
Sun Fiesta has been lighting up the streets of Venice since 1973, originally started by the Junior Women’s Club and later organized by the Women’s Sertoma Club of Venice. It’s not just another festival; it’s a celebration of community spirit, sunshine, and the Florida lifestyle. Held every October, Sun Fiesta marks the unofficial end of summer and the beginning of the cooler months, bringing everyone together to enjoy the best of what Venice has to offer.
Live Entertainment and Local Flavors
Sun Fiesta is not just about the parade; it’s a full-blown celebration with live music, performances, and activities that run throughout the weekend. From local bands playing your favorite tunes to dance performances that will get your feet tapping, there’s never a dull moment. And when it comes to food, Sun Fiesta doesn’t disappoint.
Contests, Rides, and Family Fun
For those who love a bit of competition, Sun Fiesta offers plenty of opportunities to get involved. The bed races are a quirky, must-see event where teams race beds on wheels down the street, adding a humorous twist to the festivities. Kids will have a blast with the carnival rides and games, and there’s even a special area dedicated just to them with crafts, face painting, and more!
