Brigantine’s beloved summer tradition, Night in Venice, returns Saturday, Aug. 9, with a festive new theme: Luau on the Bay. Organized by the community group Real Brigantine, the annual boat parade invites residents and visitors to embrace the island spirit with tiki torches, hula skirts, and tropical décor lining the bayfront.
Now in its fourth year, Brigantine’s Night in Venice was inspired by Ocean City’s long-running event. Each year has brought a unique theme, from “Honoring Our Heroes” in 2021 to last year’s “Light it Up.” The event has quickly become a seasonal highlight, bringing neighbors together to decorate boats and homes in a joyful display of community pride.
This year’s theme encourages Hawaiian feasts, backyard luaus, and boat crews decked out in tropical style. Participants are invited to register their homes or boats to be part of the celebration and to compete for top honors in the judging.
The event is made possible thanks to the support of generous local sponsors, including Tennessee Beer Hall, Andre’s Wine Bar & Grill, Cordivari’s Restaurant, The Cove, Ernest & Son Old-Fashioned Butcher Shoppe, Casale al Mare, Crab Shack Seafood Restaurant, Berkshire Hathaway Brigantine LePera Team, Ashore Realty Inc., and Cusamano Builders Inc.
