If you don’t have you own boat you can still celebrate the redentore Feast on the Jolly Roger ship at a price of 160 euros per person or at Serra dei Giardini, where a techno party will take place right after the fireworks and there will be an additional party on a boat from 3am to 10am (this is free).
Another party will be in Lido, at Nicelli airport with Altavoz + Yolo (electronic and hip hop music, from 10pm to 7am).
