. Festa della Madonna della Salute
Tradition November 21
The rationale behind the Festa della Salute is similar to the Festa del Redentore, as it also commemorates the end of a plague (this one in 1630-1631) and the construction of a church to thank for this. The procession starts at the San Marco basilica and there is a temporary pontoon bridge to cross Canal Grande from Campo Santa Maria del Giglio to La Salute. All along the route, there are stalls selling cakes and candles to light inside the church. It is a very local event and not attended by many tourists.
