Venice Carnival 2022
It was a carnival weekend in Venice, particularly full of masks, shows for children, but also traditional events such as the first Marie parade. There was no longer as much crowding in St. Mark’s Square as there was before the Corona crisis, but queues formed on the streets and at the piers, especially when returning. The rich and widespread carnival program “Remember the Future” is attracting many tourists this year, with a competition for the most beautiful mask taking place on March 1, decided based on criteria that focus on creativity and originality.
