Participation Info

We invite you to join us in the beautiful city of Venice and Lido di Jesolo, Italy.

Venice – one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Rich with history, charm and tradition, a city which attracts many tourists thanks to the appreciated art, cinema, history and culture that it is able to offer.

Lido di Jesolo is in the Veneto region of Italy. This town which is situated very close to Venice is a very popular destination on the Adriatic Sea. There are many hotels, shops, different kinds of sports, attractions near the beach and nightlife opportunities which attract thousands of tourists every summer. A tourist paradise proper, Jesolo has lived and will always live up to its visitors’ expectations.
