Every fall, Venetian Festival is one Boston’s biggest tours. After a couple residents decided the season needed something to look forward to the tour was started in 1987. The very inception of Venetian Festival is due to the planning of Whitney Nassau, who went through countless pages of details to make the tour a reality. The new event did not receive much financial support or much advertising, so the tour started out pretty small, featuring a lot of the city's performers..

It took a few years, but eventually word spread and Venetian Festival received some attention The tour began to get some more established acts to perform, but still included the smaller that had been with the tour since the beginning. The city was soon blocking off traffic for city blocks on the dates of Venetian Festival.

Venetian Festival has become one of the hottest events of the year, with tickets lasting a couple of hours after being released to the public. The festival is popular enough so that the organizers can just about any band to play. The organizers also respect the link to the community and are sure to ask several local bands to play the smaller stages. Venetian Festival’s organizers have been increasing the scope of the original tour these last few years to accommodate the increasingly eclectic taste of its audience.

This year’s tour promises to be the biggest yet with a stacked bill full of star acts and the best up and comers. The band’s latest tour information, from Venetian Festival tickets to concert schedule changes to seating charts, are all available on TheSeats.com.
