There are all kinds of things going on during Carnivale. You can see an overview on the city web site here: http://www.comune.venezia.it/flex/cm/pages/ServeBLOB.php/L/EN/IDPagina/132

 

There is a detailed agenda of activities here: http://www.carnevale.venezia.it/official_programme_en.pdf. It's all in Italian, but not too hard to figure out.

wow lucky for you, carnivale should be wonderful. Its going to be crowded, I assume you have your hotels. I have a friend who has been there and told me about it, its like mardi gras in new orleans so expect big crowds for everything..but it should be a lot of fun
