Venice Glass Week 2026

From September 12 to 20 2026, Venice will once again take the spotlight in the world of glass with Venice Glass Week, the international festival that celebrates art, tradition, and contemporary creativity in Venetian glass.
For nine days, Venice and Murano will host exhibitions, installations, events, and activities dedicated to the world of glass, offering a special opportunity to discover the city from an even more fascinating perspective.

Venice Glass Week 2026 will take place at numerous venues throughout Venice’s historic center, featuring events dedicated to both traditional glassmaking and new interpretations of glass.

As you stroll through the narrow streets, squares, and historic palaces, you’ll encounter exhibitions and installations that interact with the city’s architecture and atmosphere.

And, of course, Murano—which has always been closely tied to the history of Venetian glass—is a must-see: visiting the island during the event allows you to get an up-close look at the furnaces, workshops, and creations of the master glassmakers.

Venice Glass Week 2026 is also a unique way to explore Venice, following a recurring theme that brings together art, history, and craftsmanship. Between events, let yourself be guided by the city’s narrow streets and small squares, discovering lesser-known corners and endless new views. And if you have more time, be sure to visit Murano, the heart of the Venetian glassmaking tradition.

It’s the perfect way to discover the special relationship between Venice and glass: a story of artisanal tradition, creativity, and innovation that continues to this day.

To enjoy Venice Glass Week 2026 at its best, the Hotel Ala Venezia offers an ideal location.

We’re located in Campo Santa Maria del Giglio, in the heart of Venice and just a short walk from St. Mark’s Square and the La Fenice Theater.

It’s the perfect spot to attend Venice Glass Week events throughout the historic center and, at the same time, plan a day exploring Murano and the islands of the lagoon.

After the events, you can simply walk back to the hotel and continue enjoying Venice: a dinner, an evening stroll through the narrow streets, or a relaxing moment on the Hotel Ala’s rooftop terrace.
