À quoi s’attendre en 2027

Regata Storica 2027 will bring Venice’s traditional rowing culture to the Grand Canal through a combination of historic pageantry, competitive rowing and public celebration. It is the principal event in Venice’s annual Voga alla Veneta rowing calendar and is known for its spectacular water procession before the races.

The event begins with the Corteo Storico, a colourful procession of historic boats carrying costumed figures through the Grand Canal. The sporting programme then features several rowing competitions involving children, young rowers, women, men and crews racing traditional Venetian boats.

The main competitive event is the gondolini race, while the wider programme also includes caorline, mascarete, pupparini and other traditional boats. The exact 2027 programme and participating crews will be announced by the organisers closer to the event.

Format du tournoi et structure de la compétition

Youth competitions: Younger competitors race in designated mascarete and pupparini categories.

Caorline: Six rowers compete together in large traditional boats.

Women: The women’s competition uses two-oared mascarete.

Men: The principal senior men’s competition is held on two-oared gondolini.

International universities: University crews compete in eight-oared galeoni over a shorter Grand Canal course.

The gondolini competition traditionally follows the Grand Canal from the starting area, around the turning point, and back toward the finish at Ca’ Foscari.

Horaires des matchs/événements

The official 2027 start times have not yet been published.

The latest official programme provides a useful indication of the traditional sequence, with the historical water parade taking place first, followed by youth races, caorline, the university challenge, the women’s race and finally the gondolini competition.

The senior gondolini race traditionally forms the final major sporting event of the afternoon. Visitors should check the official 2027 programme before planning their viewing location.

Types de billets

The main Regata Storica is a public event taking place along the Grand Canal, with spectators able to watch from public areas along the route.

Visionnement public : Free from public streets, bridges, waterfront areas and other unrestricted viewing locations.

Reserved viewing: Any official reserved seating, hospitality or special viewing arrangements for 2027 have not yet been published.

Historical procession viewing: The water parade can be viewed from public areas along the Grand Canal.

No confirmed 2027 ticket prices have been announced, and no reliable previous-edition general admission price is available because the main public viewing areas do not require a conventional event ticket.

Phases de mise à disposition des billets

No 2027 ticket-release schedule has been announced.

Because the main Regata Storica can be watched from public areas, there is no standard festival-wide ticket release comparable with a conventional stadium sporting event.

If the organisers introduce reserved viewing areas, hospitality packages or special seating for 2027, information about availability and booking periods should be published through the official event channels.

Options VIP et hôtellerie

The principal event is designed as a city-wide public celebration rather than a conventional ticketed sporting fixture.

Special viewing opportunities may be available through hospitality partners, official guests, institutions or private venues overlooking the Grand Canal, but specific 2027 packages have not yet been announced.

Visitors seeking a premium experience can also consider accommodation or restaurants overlooking the Grand Canal, although these are independent of official Regata Storica ticketing.

Règles du stade et de l’événement

Visitors should follow all instructions issued by event organisers, municipal authorities, police and water-traffic personnel.

Public safety: Keep bridges, walkways and emergency access routes clear during the event.

Gestion de la foule : Temporary pedestrian controls may be introduced around heavily attended viewing areas.

Water restrictions: The Grand Canal and surrounding waterways are subject to temporary navigation restrictions during the races.

Boat access: Private boats and watercraft must follow instructions from the authorities and remain outside restricted race areas.

Viewing areas: Visitors should remain in authorised public spaces and avoid obstructing other spectators.

Respect the athletes: Spectators should not interfere with competing crews or attempt to enter the race course.

Comment y arriver

Par train : Venezia Santa Lucia railway station is the main arrival point for visitors travelling by rail. The station is directly connected with the historic centre.

By vaporetto: ACTV water buses provide connections between major areas of Venice and are useful for reaching locations along the Grand Canal.

À pied : Walking is one of the most practical ways to move between viewing points because the historic centre is pedestrian-oriented.

Par avion : Venice Marco Polo Airport is the principal international airport. Visitors can continue to Venice by airport bus, water transport, taxi or private transfer.

Par la route : Visitors arriving by car normally leave vehicles at parking facilities around Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto before continuing into the historic centre.

Transports en commun et stationnement

Public transport arrangements can change substantially during the Regata Storica because sections of the Grand Canal are temporarily restricted for the races.

The latest official programme states that navigation services are modified or suspended during the afternoon of the event to allow the regatta to take place safely.

Vaporetto : ACTV services remain an important way to move around Venice, but specific routes and stops can be altered during the event.

Piazzale Roma: One of the principal vehicle-access points for visitors arriving by road.

Tronchetto: A major parking and vehicle-access area connected with Venice’s historic centre.

Marche : Visitors should allow additional time because bridges and pedestrian routes can become extremely busy.

Zones d’hébergement

San Marco: Convenient for access to St. Mark’s Basin, the Grand Canal and major viewing areas.

San Polo: A central district with access to the Grand Canal and the Rialto area.

Santa Croce : Useful for visitors arriving by train or car and wanting relatively convenient access to the historic centre.

Cannaregio: Offers accommodation around the northern section of the historic centre while remaining within walking distance of the Grand Canal.

Dorsoduro: Provides access to Ca’ Foscari and several important Grand Canal viewpoints.

Mestre: An alternative base on the mainland with a broader selection of accommodation and rail connections to Venice.

Nourriture et boissons sur le lieu

There is no single stadium-style food court because Regata Storica takes place across Venice’s waterways and historic centre.

Cicchetti: Traditional Venetian small plates are widely available in bacari around the historic centre.

Sarde in saor: A classic Venetian preparation of sardines with onions and a sweet-and-sour flavour.

Baccalà mantecato: Creamed salted cod is one of Venice’s best-known traditional dishes.

Bigoli in salsa: A traditional pasta dish prepared with a savoury anchovy and onion sauce.

Fritto misto: Mixed fried seafood is commonly available at Venetian restaurants and food establishments.

Spritz: The well-known Venetian aperitivo is widely served throughout the city.

Visitors should reserve restaurants early if they want a Grand Canal view during the Regata Storica.

Accessibilité

Venice’s historic centre contains bridges, steps, narrow streets and uneven paving, which can create challenges for visitors with reduced mobility.

During the Regata Storica, temporary pedestrian controls and crowd-management measures can further affect movement around major viewing locations.

Visitors with accessibility requirements should plan their route in advance and check the latest ACTV and municipal information for accessible transport, vaporetto services and suitable viewing areas.

Ca’ Foscari, the Grand Canal and several major public locations can be reached through different routes, but accessibility varies considerably by individual street and bridge.
