VENICE Sign Lighting and Birthday
The legendary Abbot Kinney introduced the world to Venice in 1905 on the 4th of July. Spanning across Windward Avenue at Pacific (then Trolley Way), 3-foot high letters spelling VENICE glowed to electric life! In 2007, the Venice Sign Restoration Project recreated and installed the contemporary version of this historic sign. Since that time, the Venice Chamber has been responsible for taking care of the Sign and for protecting its trademark.
Today this lasting legacy is restored across Windward Avenue as a tribute to the celebrated Venice of years past and a modern day gateway to the world famous Venice Beach. The Venice Chamber will celebrate the 111th Birthday of "Venice of America" with the annual changing of the historic VENICE Sign to red, white and blue bulbs.
ADOPT A BULB AND BECOME A PART OF THE VENICE SIGN!
Continuing year-round, the Venice Chamber of Commerce raises funds to support the maintenance of the VENICE Sign. Through the Adopt-a-Bulb program, direct donations and license fees we are able to provide for inspections and repairs, ensuring that the VENICE Sign remains a safe and beautiful symbol for all to enjoy.
