Overview
Venice holds a free, public New Year's Eve celebration each year in St. Mark's Square, typically featuring a concert or DJ set that runs up to midnight, when fireworks are set off over the Bacino di San Marco, the basin in front of the square.
Like similar city-wide countdowns elsewhere, it draws large crowds into the square and along the waterfront for the fireworks; exact programming varies from year to year, and a ticketed concert area is sometimes organized separately from the free public viewing.
