The Hythe Venetian Fête is a spectacular waterside celebration held on the historic Royal Military Canal in Hythe, Kent. This much-loved community event transforms the canal into a colourful floating parade, with beautifully decorated boats and imaginative displays gliding across the water.

As evening falls, the illuminated floats create a magical atmosphere, accompanied by entertainment, music and a lively crowd along the canal banks. The festivities traditionally culminate in an impressive fireworks display, making the Hythe Venetian Fête a memorable celebration for families, visitors and the local community.

Combining creativity, tradition and community spirit, the Venetian Fête is one of Hythe’s most distinctive and anticipated events.
