Cortellazzo Maritime Festivals

The maritime summer of Cortellazzo

In the heart of summer, Cortellazzo — a fishing village at the mouth of the Piave and a district of Jesolo, in the province of Venice — celebrates its identity with the Maritime Festivals. For several evenings spread across July and August, the district's Sports Centre becomes the meeting point for residents and tourists, drawn by the flavours of the sea and the joy of a village festival.

Fresh fish takes centre stage

The heart of the event are the covered food stalls, where fresh Adriatic fish is cooked and served on the spot, according to local maritime tradition recipes. An opportunity to taste dishes that tell the story of a community that has always been linked to the sea and the lagoon.

Music and dancing with ballroom music

The evenings are accompanied by live music and dancing with renowned ballroom orchestras, which liven up the dance floor and make the Maritime Festivals an unmissable event for fans of the genre. A mix of good food, conviviality, and tradition that is renewed every summer.

An authentic festival

Far from the mass tourism of the coast, the Cortellazzo Maritime Festivals offer a genuine glimpse into the life of the district, where the tradition of the fishermen of the Venetian lagoon is still the star. An event to discover for those seeking the most authentic soul of the Jesolo coastline.
