Charlevoix Venetian Festival

The Charlevoix Venetian Festival brings people together! Established in 1931, this jubilant tradition started with a simple candle-lit boat parade.

Today, it is an 8-day festival that showcases big-name concerts, fireworks, a carnival, street and boat parades, athletic events, beachfront activities, street vendors, buskers and much more.

The goal of the festival is to build community and connection, create lasting memories and bring people together. That’s why you won’t pay for a concert ticket or need a special pass. Everyone is invited and encouraged to participate, whether a guest, a volunteer or a sponsor!
