There is one Lake Geneva Festival you will not want to miss this year… Venetian Festival! Venetian Fest is a five day festival that takes place August 17th – August 21st at Flat Iron Park, across from The Cove of Lake Geneva, in downtown Lake Geneva. The festival includes everything from a carnival with exciting rides and games, musical entertainment, local cuisine, and a craft fair, as well as a water ski show, lighted boat parade and the area’s largest fireworks over Geneva Lake on the last day of the festival. Below you will find information about the 5 day event.
Looking for a place to stay while attending Venetian Fest? Check out The Cove of Lake Geneva! The Cove is located directly across the street from Venetian Fest, which means you can park your car and enjoy the festival without ever needing to drive!
