There are lots of exciting events going on in Venice around the time of WAE 97. The main events are:

• The Historical Regatta (September 7). This is perhaps Venice's most authentic holiday. From 14.30 until about 19, four regattas are held (regatta of the young; women's regatta; caorline regatta; gondolini regatta). The regattas are preceded by an opulent and evocative historic parade: the Doge, his wife, the Dogaressa; the Queen of Cyprus; ambassadors and ministers -- bringing back to life the splendour of the Venetian Republic.
• The Venice Biennale: the International Art Exhibit, the Biennale Gardens (June 15 - November 7, 1997). In odd-numbered years, Venice hosts a famous modern-art exposition that features painters, sculptors, and performance artists from around the world.
• The International Film Festival, Palazzo del Cinema, Lido (August 27 - Sept. 7, 1997). Film showings are open to the public. The 1997 schedule of events isn't yet available, but this 1996 list will give you an idea of what to expect.
• The 20th Riviera Fiorita, Traditional row down the Brenta River from Padua to Venice past some of the most beautiful Venetian Villas (September 14).
