Since then, every year on the third weekend of July, Venice commemorates this historic event. The festivities extend over several days, enlivening the city's streets with concerts and festivities. However, the highlight comes on Saturday evening, when a procession of richly decorated boats majestically crosses the lagoon in front of a spectacular fireworks show. These floats make their way to the Church of the Redentore to lay offerings, symbolizing the faith and gratitude of the Venetians. 

Compared to the famous Venice Carnival, the Redentore has a more intimate but equally vibrant atmosphere. Locals gather in the streets and on the bridges, dressed in traditional costumes or simply in white in honor of the festival's religious origins. The women often wear elegant dresses, sometimes accompanied by masks, while the men sport white shirts and dark pants, creating an elegant atmosphere. 

For those wishing to experience this unique celebration closely, the Hotel Londra Palace is an ideal choice. Nestled on the Riva degli Schiavoni, with a majestic view over the lagoon and close to St. Mark's Square, this historic establishment founded in the 19th century combines luxury and comfort in an authentically Venetian setting. 

The Redentore in Venice is much more than a simple celebration : it's a vibrant tribute to the city's history, inviting everyone to share a moment of rejoicing in the heart of the "Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia".
