Sun Fiesta

It originated to provide the community its last chance to get together before the 'snow birds' started migrating in November! It has remained one of the most beloved events of the year for the citizens of Venice.

The celebration includes a parade, bed races, arts & crafts, food, Miss Sun Fiesta, music and dancing. With an outdoor stage there are a number of talent and dance performances by local groups and organizations during Saturday afternoon followed by live bands performing through the rest of the evening.

There’s even a Beauty Pageant to select a Miss Sun Fiesta from among a number of young women competing for the annual title and culminating in a young woman being selected to win a $1,000 scholarship.
