Edition 2025 — Feast of the Ascension

The 2025 edition of the Festa della Sensa took place on Ascension Day with the usual water procession led by the Serenissima, the Wedding of the Sea at the Lido Port Channel, the voga alla veneta regattas, and the Mass at San Nicolò del Lido.

In 2025, the Feast of the Ascension once again renewed the millennial rite of the Wedding of the Sea. The water procession, led by the Serenissima galley, crossed St. Mark's Basin to the Lido Port Channel, where the ring was cast into the waters in front of the Church of San Nicolò. The morning featured regattas for young people, women, and men on the typical lagoon boats, while the religious celebration of the Ascension concluded the day.
