The Feast of the Redeemer is one of the most popular festivities in the city of Venice.
According to the tradition, at sunset the boats, illuminated and decorated with branches and balloons, begin to flow into St Mark's Basin and the Giudecca Canal.
The fireworks show starts at 23.30 and lasts until well after midnight. Games of light and reflections colour the sky and illuminate the city's canals, domes and bell towers, making the night truly magical, enchanting all spectators.
It is celebrated every year on the third Sunday in July to commemorate the end of the plague epidemic of 1575-1577.
