XXIII° International Festival for Folklore and Modern Arts

"Le spiagge d'Italia"

17 - 20 May 2026, Jesolo - Venice

Lively and picturesque, Jesolo stretches along a narrow strip of golden beach between the Venice Lagoon and the Piave River Delta in Italy’s Veneto Region. Its bustling tourist port is one of the most dynamic in the Province of Venice, and while its wide sandy beaches offer plenty of fun in the sun, Jesolo also provides endless opportunities for day and night entertainment, cultural events, and festivals.

Every May, hundreds of international artists and folklore groups gather in Jesolo to participate in a prestigious international festival of music and dance — and, of course, to visit the nearby city of Venice. Known worldwide for its unique urban architecture, priceless artistic heritage, and romantic canals, Venice is considered the most beautiful city on earth and is a proud UNESCO World Heritage Site.
