Venice resumes special events with Parade of Champions for athletes

The city hosted parades in 2018 and 2019, while Holic was mayor. The current plan for the parade would mirror the 2019 format, with the students assembling at Venice High School, and the parade progressing west on Miami Avenue until Harbor Drive on Venice, then north to Venice Avenue. It would proceed east on Venice Avenue until Nassau Street. There it would turn north and proceed for a half block and enter Centennial Park.  “We have got a great school with great kids, they need the recognition,” Holic said.  At the park, there would be a gathering, with “free” hot dogs sold in exchange for a donation that would go toward the purchase of championship rings. 

COVID pandemic: When will Venice allow special events again?

Assistant City Manager Len Bramble said Thursday that McGowan and other merchants may only have to wait until June 19-20, when the city hopes to host the Howard Alan-produced 28th annual Downtown Venice Craft Festival.  “We are keenly interested in how we might be able to carefully open things up slowly and methodically back up,” Bramble said, adding that the city has been chatting with representatives of Howard Alan Events about an appropriate COVID-19 social distancing plan. “We’re going to be discussing that with them early next week.”  After that, Bramble said the city hopes to be able to permit a July 4 fireworks display, then the Venice MainStreet-sponsored Venice Beach Party and the Women’s Sertoma-sponsored Sun Fiesta and the Chalk Festival at the Venice Municipal Airport Fairgrounds.
