The Folklore Festival in Lido di Jesolo, a famous seaside resort on the Venetian Lagoon, has been organized since 2018 by Blue Diamond, with the support of the Municipality of Jesolo.
The festival takes place on a professional open-air stage in the town’s central square. Before the performances, all participating groups join a colorful parade through the streets of Jesolo, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.
