Carnival in Venice fills everyone with amazement. For a few weeks in the darkest part of winter, the sky lights with fireworks, the palazzi glitter. Fabulous creatures emerge in exotic dress. Visitors from all over the globe dance and sparkle to a open air ballroom that only Venice can supply.Glamorous Balls abound, but Carnival is everywhere. Children dress up scattering confetti. Every turn creates a photo opportunity for visitors who may also be masked. The fabulous party before Lent. Historically the Venetians celebrated six months of the year, but today it is two weeks of fun and festivities.
