I read somewhere a while back about a 15 course feast in Venice that starts at lunchtime and ends at midnight. With fireworks. Now this sounds like something that I would like very much, being the glutton that I am, but I can't find the article and have googled to no avail.
Anyone point me in the right direction? I'm guessing it's a public holiday?

Searched for Venice Feast and found many such -- how about this one?
Feast of the Redeemer (Il Redentore) - the festival is held every third week in July, with fireworks, a regatta, and the locals celebrate by cooking and bringing their food and furniture outside, where they eat and drink the night away by the side of the canal.
