We Love A Parade! The Venice High School Parade of Champions steps off at 11:30 a.m. this Saturday, Feb. 15, starting from Venice High School and concluding at Centennial Park, where athletes and coaches will be recognized.
Following an outstanding 2024 season, VHS is celebrating the remarkable achievements of its football and cheerleading teams, along with the incredible efforts of the VHS Marching Band.
The Venice High School football team clinched the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) Class 7A State Championship and secured their fourth state title by defeating Lake Mary 52-19 in December.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to join the celebration at Centennial Park starting around 11:45 a.m. Unlike the Venice Holiday Parade, this event does not include road closures or designated pedestrian viewing areas. The VHS Marching Band and athletes will travel north on Nokomis Ave., west on Venice Ave., and north on Nassau St. to the Gazebo in Centennial Park. See below parade route map
The City of Venice prohibits throwing candy, trinkets, or other items during all parades. All parade participants and attendees must follow the City’s Code of Conduct.
