What began 86 years ago as a simple candle-lit boat parade has grown into a week-long flurry of color and pageantry that highlights the summer season and attracts tens of thousands of visitors.
The Festival offers a wonderful variety of events geared to delight and entertain every age group. Most events take place within waterfront parks, Round Lake Harbor and Lake Charlevoix.
The Charlevoix Venetian Festival begins with AquaPalooza on the 3rd Saturday of July.
Our big end to the celebration with two nights of world class fireworks is always the 4th weekend of July.
