The fishing village of San Pietro in Volta gives over the turn of July to its patron saint, with a fish stand, a cross country race, comedies and open air dancing on the lagoon front.
TipThe stand serves dinner from the Thursday and both lunch and dinner over the closing weekend; the 11 bus runs down from the Lido.
Malamocco's July week, held since 1801, fills Piazza Maggiore with food stands and dancing around a night boat procession from Poveglia and the old rite of dressing the Madonna.
TipStands open at 19.30 each evening; plan the trip around the Wednesday night boat procession from Poveglia.
Pellestrina's late July week on Piazzale Zendrini runs a kitchen of typical island dishes beside orchestras and dancing, the Regata di Pellestrina, a lottery and closing fireworks.
TipConcerts run nightly on Piazzale Zendrini, and the Regata di Pellestrina is the fixture that anchors the whole week.
Alberoni at the southern tip of the Lido spends late August on the mussel, serving pastasciutta coi peoci and saltada de peoci beside a regatta, a market and a cross country race.
TipTake the 11 bus from Santa Maria Elisabetta; the regatta and the closing concert both fall on the final weekend.
On Epiphany afternoon Malamocco burns the panevin, a wooden pyre seven metres high, and passes vin brule, bagigi and sweets round it while the Befana hands candy to the children.
TipThe pyre is lit in the afternoon of 6 January; dress for the lagoon wind and get there before dusk for a place near it.
