    Festa in Maschera Venezia: the Carnival Ball at Ca Zen Palace

    During your Carnival nights, don’t take too much for granted the reflection you will find in the waters of the lagoon. Beyond the thresholds of Venice’s historic palaces, the canals of Venice reflect the beauty of the city. The magnificent Ca’Zen Palace is waiting to reveal its soul and invite you into the magnificence of the 18th century… Immerse yourself in the past where another you is waiting to be revealed. I sing the Venetian serenade for you…

    Paradoxically, no one is more unmasked than those who go through the Venice Carnival. At the same time, no one comes out more alive and thrilled. Indulge in the magic that Venice has in store for you.

    One of the most eagerly awaited events of this Carnival will be held in the historic Ca Zen Palace in the Dorsoduro sestiere, about a 20-minute walk from St Mark’s Square or Rialto.

    Every year in Venice hotels and historic palaces overlooking the Grand Canal host masked parties and balls that pay homage to the centuries-old Carnival tradition.

    The 2026 edition of this party celebrates “Love”, a word that is a symbol of confidence, friendship and also of complicity and playful glances.

    On Saturday 14th February 2026, Cupid’s love will sweep you off your feet and inebriate your senses in a Carnival party of madness and transformism. Juggling, magic, music, good food and unbridled fun will accompany you until late into the night.

    Experience the unique thrill of donning a mask and period costume and immerse yourself in a euphoric, lively and enchanting Venice.

    Venice Masquerade Party: How Costume Rental Works

    Once you have purchased your ticket, you will receive an email from the atelier to indicate your measurements.

Your costume fitting will immediately be arranged in atelier in the San Marco area.

    The rental of the dress includes:

    • For women: full dress, underskirt or panier (according to the age of the dress), handbag, gloves and collar.
    • For men: suit, shirt, lace, shoes, socks and tricorn if provided by the dress.

    The only things not included in the price are wigs and masks, which must be purchased and never rented for hygienic reasons.
