On February 1, 2026, the spectacular water parade (Corteo Acqueo) took place on the Venetian canals, marking a major highlight of the Carnival. The parade featured a fleet of elaborately decorated boats, with a giant "big mouse" boat leading the procession and releasing colorful confetti into the air. The water parade is one of the most iconic events of the Venice Carnival and drew large crowds along the waterfront.
