After the Ferragosto fireworks on the sands of Piazza Brescia, the coast has a second grand finale in store: on Saturday 29 August 2026, from 22:30, Beach on Fire returns to Cavallino-Treporti. Thirteen kilometres of beach light up together, just minutes from Jesolo.

When and where does Beach on Fire 2026 take place?

The date is Saturday 29 August 2026, from 22:30, along the Cavallino-Treporti coastline. The firing positions are spread across the 13 kilometres of beach running from Punta Sabbioni to the Cavallino Lighthouse, and they all start at the same moment.

That is what makes this show different from any other: there is no central stage to fight for. Watching from the beach, you see the sky light up in both directions, as far as the eye can see. Admission is free: watching the fireworks from the beach requires no ticket and no booking. The event is organised by the Cavallino-Treporti Tourist Park together with the local council and Assocamping.

Why is it called the longest in the world?

Because it is: Beach on Fire is recognised as the most extensive beach fireworks display in the world, and Guinness World Records has certified the record. It is not about duration but about breadth: thirteen kilometres of synchronised fireworks along a single stretch of coast.

Anyone who saw the Ferragosto fireworks in Jesolo — this year on 15 August, from 23:00 to 23:55 on the beach at Piazza Brescia — will recognise the same magic on a different scale. In Jesolo your gaze settles on one point of the shoreline; at Cavallino it stretches for kilometres.

How do you get there from Jesolo?

Cavallino-Treporti borders Jesolo, so the trip is short. Your options:

  • By bus: ATVO services leave from the bus station in Piazzale Picchi and connect Jesolo with Cavallino and Punta Sabbioni; in summer the direct Cavallino Express line also runs. Up-to-date timetables are on atvo.it.
  • By bike: the coast is linked by cycle paths, one of the best known being the Via delle Fortificazioni. It is the option that skips the evening traffic entirely.
  • By car: there are several paid parking areas at Punta Sabbioni and along the coast. On busy evenings it pays to arrive well ahead of time.

A practical tip: on Beach on Fire nights traffic towards Cavallino increases noticeably. Setting off early and having dinner locally is the most comfortable choice.

What happens if it rains?

In bad weather the show is postponed to the following days. Before setting off it is worth checking the latest forecast and the official channels of the Cavallino-Treporti Tourist Park.

Frequently asked questions

When is Beach on Fire 2026?

Saturday 29 August 2026, starting from 22:30. The display covers the entire Cavallino-Treporti coastline at once, from positions spread between Punta Sabbioni and the Cavallino Lighthouse.

Do you need a ticket to watch the fireworks?

No, admission is free: from the beach the display can be watched freely all along the coast, with no ticket and no booking. It is a different matter for the mini-cruises organised for the occasion, which must be booked directly with the operators.

Where is the best spot to watch?

There is no single best spot: the fireworks start together along all 13 kilometres, so every stretch of beach offers a good view. Many choose to watch from the sea, aboard a boat.

Can you see it from Jesolo too?

All the positions are on the Cavallino-Treporti coast, beyond the mouth of the Sile: to really experience the show it is worth making the trip. From Jesolo it takes just a few minutes by bus or bike.

What time should you arrive?

With the show starting at 22:30, arriving by 21:00 gives you time to park calmly and settle on the beach without rushing.
