Viva La Venice x Venice Electric Light Parade
Thank You for Lighting Up Venice!
Our June 29th event was a glowing success — and it's all thanks to YOU!
From the moment the music started at Windward Plaza to the final spins along the boardwalk, the Viva La Venice x Electric Light Parade brought the community together in true Venice fashion. Families, friends, artists, and cyclists joined forces to celebrate the 120th Anniversary of Venice with color, light, and local love.
Highlights included:
A glowing sunset bike parade led by the legendary Venice Electric Light Parade
DJ sets by local talent Malie Jan, keeping the energy high all evening
Pop-ups and community support from local businesses like Jay's Rentals, Green Goddess Pedicabs, Solely fruit snacks & More!
Beautiful photography capturing the joy, movement, and spirit of our neighborhood
We are deeply grateful to everyone who showed up, dressed up, and brought the magic to life. Special thanks to our collaborators, vendors, volunteers, and partners for making it all possible.
