Description

One of the most popular festivals of the fall season that is not an Oktoberfest.

Event Details

The weather for this festival is usually quite comfortable; sunny and warm for the afternoons and mild and pleasant for the evenings.

The Sun Fiesta, held in downtown’ Venice’s Centennial Park, a wonderful location for the festival, traditionally runs on Friday evening from 5 p.m. – 10 p.m. , Saturday from 9 a.m. – 10 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.

The weekend is filled with events in which you may either participate of just be a spectator. The Friday night kickoff to the event usually features a live band from 5 p.m. – 9 p.m.

Things really “spring” into gear on Saturday morning with the Annual Funny Bed Races with a number of competing teams vying for the championship on west Venice Avenue right next to Centennial Park at 9 a.m.

The Bed Races are traditionally followed up by the Annual Parade, Opening Ceremonies and the Venice H.S. Marching Band.
With an outdoor stage there are a number of talent and dance performances by local groups and organizations during Saturday afternoon followed by live bands performing through the rest of the evening.

There’s even a Beauty Pageant to select a Miss Sun Fiesta from among a number of young women competing for the annual title and culminating in a young woman being selected to win a $1,000 scholarship.
