About Ferragosto Fireworks
Chioggia's Ferragosto Celebration
The Ferragosto Fireworks are one of the most beloved events of the summer in Chioggia, a lagoon city in the province of Venice. Every year, on the eve of Ferragosto, the pyrotechnic show illuminates the Lusenzo Lagoon, the body of water separating Chioggia from Sottomarina.
A Show on the Water
The fireworks are launched from the Isola dell'Unione, on the north side of the lagoon, around 11:45 PM: the colours of the explosions are reflected on the water, creating a spectacular effect admired by thousands of people along the banks. For the occasion, the area is pedestrianised from 7:30 PM onwards, transforming the lagoonfront into a large viewing point.
A Summer Tradition
The show is organised by the Municipality of Chioggia and is one of the city's summer highlights, attracting residents and tourists from nearby areas. In case of bad weather, the fireworks are postponed, usually to the end of August. An opportunity to experience Ferragosto in one of Veneto's most characteristic water towns, between the lagoon and the Upper Adriatic Sea.
