The annual Regata Storica takes place on the first Sunday of September – there is a water pageant with lots of decorated 16th century-style boats gliding down the Grand Canal, with oarsmen in costume- quite a spectacle, followed by races
You can see it on You Tube

and we saw them again near the Rialto bridge
We were in Venice at the right time!
