Patron saint festival In 252 days
Saint John the Baptist, patron who gave Jesolo its medieval name
📅 Every year, in June, with the Palio Remiero delle Contrade
Jesolo celebrates Saint John the Baptist with the Palio Remiero delle Contrade and fireworks over the Sile; in 1211 the town changed its name to «San Giovanni» precisely because of a monastery dedicated to the Baptist, whose devotion dates back many centuries.
