Lake Geneva Jaycees Annual Venetian FestivalHistory
Venetian Festival started by the Lake Geneva Jaycees in 1946 is an annual Festival that includes a Carnival, Craft Fair, Live Entertainment, great food and fun for people of all ages. Venetian Festival is the banner event for the Lake Geneva Jaycees Chapter. It represents the largest revenue generator for the club, the net profits of which all go back into our local community and organizations. As Venetian has grown over the years, so too have the donations from the Jaycees. Some of the organizations that continue to benefit from the proceeds derived from Venetian Festivals are:
The Lake Geneva Police Dept., The Lake Geneva Fire Dept., Lake Geneva YMCA, Badger High School Scholarships, Cub Scouts, United Way, and Big Brother's Big Sisters, Beat the Heat, VIP Services, Special Olympics Dream Team, just to name a few. The event draws over 30,000 people throughout the five day festival, nearly 5 times the population of Lake Geneva. Visitors from all over the US attend regularly.
