NEW YEAR’S EVE IN VENICE

On the 31st of December, Love, the new Venetian way of celebrating New Year, returns to Piazza San Marco and Piazza Ferretto in Venice, ready to set the two hearts of the city beating on one of the most important nights of the year.

Once again, the New Year celebrations will culminate in a vast, communal kiss between over 60,000 people.

One unanimous kiss to send a message of love, peace and brotherhood to the world. This is the simple but profound gesture, that will welcome in the New Year at an event that is destined to become the focus of media attention and a worldwide symbol of goodwill as well as a very special memory for both the city and all those who will be there to enjoy this new, unforgettable night in Venice.

The programme of Piazza Ferretto appeals to a young audience, through an effective mix of dj-set, ska music and stand-up comedy. New this year, the spectacular lighting effects that greet the arrival of the new year.

The format of Piazza San Marco this year will be reviewed: from the central tower a spectacular program of music and lights will be performed, with projections that color setting of the historic buildings surrounding the square. At midnight the Bacino di San Marco will host a fireworks display that will light up the New Year's Eve. And for all, a toast with Bellini Canella.

WARNING
It is confirmed that the show "Love 2010" in Piazza San Marco will take place, as scheduled. The access to Piazza San Marco and the surrounding area is recommended only to people wearing gum boots, since there will be 20—25 cm of high water in Piazza San Marco on the New Year's Eve night. For those who wish to attend the fireworks display without standing in the water, we suggest to go to the area of Riva degli Schiavoni, from the Church of Pietà on, ahead to the Arsenal. The pedestrian viability in the area of Piazza San Marco will be changed as follows in the evening of 31 December, due to security reasons:

  • The use of paths on catwalks in Piazza San Marco is suspended;
  • A different catwalk route will be created to connect Rialto to Mercerie and to the ACTV stop of San Zaccaria, transiting through Ponte della Canonica.
  • The catwalk route from San Moisè to San Marco will pass through Frezzeria — Bacino Orseolo — San Luca — San Salvador;
The rest of catwalk routes in the historic center will remain unchanged. Until the evening of 31 December and then in the morning of January 1 the pedestrian viability will be as usual.
