The date of this unique event varies from year to year and directly depends on the Ash Wednesday, one of the holidays of the Catholic Church, the date of which is determined annually.

According to tradition, the carnival in Venice begins 12 days before the Ash Wednesday: the day when believers begin Lent, which will last forty-five days.

This name was given to this day because of the old rite, during which the heads of the confessors were sprinkled with ashes as a sign of remission of sins and the priest said the following words: "Out of the dust came out and you will return to the dust."

In 2019, the Venice Carnival will be held from February 16 to March 5.

Now is the time to familiarize yourself with all the details and book a ticket to the magical city on the water. What awaits the Venetians and guests of the city in 2019?

The theme of the carnival in 2016 was dedicated to the Milan Expo 2015 exhibition "Feed the Planet. Energy for Life" ("Nutrire il Pianeta. Energia per la Vita") and sounded "The most delicious holiday in the world!" ("La festa piu 'golosa del mondo").
