Here for it?
Get to the basin's edge early and stay — the square, the waterfront and a boat if you can get aboard are the places to be — and treat the walk back as part of the night rather than a problem to solve at the end. advice

The weekend turns the city toward the basin, so turn away from it: Cannaregio's Fondamenta della Misericordia for dinner, Castello's Via Garibaldi, or a daytime boat to Murano and Burano and back before the evening tide of spectators. advice

How we verified this.
Is Venice worth visiting during Festa del Redentore?
Packed on all 2 event days. our forecast
Worth it if Festa del Redentore is why you're coming — expect Packed days; if crowds are your concern, it is the one time to avoid. advice
Where are the crowds in Venice during Festa del Redentore?
The fireworks are over St Mark's Basin, so the crowd lands on every edge of it — the square, the waterfront and the boats — and the whole city and its lagoon turn toward the basin for the weekend.
Fireworks night: the viewing spots and the exits
The fireworks are over St Mark's Basin; the organisers' and the city's own pages list the viewing areas around it and how the water traffic runs that night — read them before you choose a spot, and settle how you will get back before dark.
Times and routes change: www.italyscapes.com is the organiser's own page and the authority.
Our crowd forecast is an informed estimate, not a guarantee — check with the organiser and/or local authorities before you plan around it.
our forecast marks a number we worked out from published data; advice marks something we think. Never the other way round.
Named places appear here only after checking their own website; anything unverifiable is left out.
