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 in Venice and to Piazza Ferretto in Mestre, ready to set the heart 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.
