AIWAV Carnival Celebration 3/2/24

It happened. The American International Women's Association of Venice held their first party, their first Carnival Party and their first profile raising, fund raising event. All in the cause of two very worthwhile organisations supporting women in situations of domestic violence.

The party was held on Saturday 3rd February 2024 against stiff competition from the usual suspects in town. But the mix of a reasonable ticket price, great location and even better music and catering proved to be a winner with 70+ guests in attendance.

Local Jazz band Venice Jazz Friends provided a fantastic musical backdrop to the first half of the evening after which DJ Agi really got the dance floor jumping - so much so that no one wanted the last song to come around. The theme of the evening was a Voyage of Discovery and guests were led from a watery entrance way with photo opportunity via a series of maps, leading the guest around the ancient world of Marco Polo, to the bar and band. The final discovery was the Artisanal Market of six local craft makers hosted on the top floor of our venue, Spazio Levante.

Midway through the evening, the raffle was held and 820 Euro was raised to be split between
Centro antiviolenza Estia a Venezia e Mestre e Riviera del Brenta – Centro Antiviolenza Iside
Centro Antiviolenza e Sportelli Antiviolenza | Comune di Venezia.

​Thanks to everyone who helped make the party such a success from ticket sales to promotion to the raffle to the decor team. See you next year.
