Fresh fish evenings and ballroom dancing in the seaside village of Jesolo
In the heart of summer, Cortellazzo — a fishing village at the mouth of the Piave river and a district of Jesolo, in the province of Venice — celebrates its identity with the Feste Marinare. For several evenings spread between 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 cheerfulness of the village festival.
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.
The evenings are accompanied by live music and dancing with renowned ballroom orchestras, which liven up the dance floor and make the Feste Marinare an unmissable event for fans of the genre. A mix of good food, conviviality, and tradition that is renewed every summer.
Far from the mass tourism of the beach resort, the Feste Marinare di Cortellazzo offer a genuine glimpse into village life, where the tradition of the fishermen of the Venetian lagoon is still central. An event to discover for those seeking the most authentic soul of the Jesolo coastline.
The 2026 summer of the Feste Marinare di Cortellazzo offers evenings on July 12-13 and 26-27 and August 9-10 and 16-17, at the Sports Centre of the Jesolo district.
