Masquerade balls, entertainment, feasts, music, and parties...as well as some mischief and pranks...all are part of Venice's huge winter festival known as Carnevale. And since 2014, they've been a part of Suffolk Sister Cities International as well! Each exchange with our Sister City of Oderzo, which is located in the Veneto region of Italy, involves a trip to Venice. What better way to celebrate our global friendship than with an annual Venetian masked ball. Members and guests gather for a magical evening of dining, dancing, and merry-making. Live and silent auctions provide an opportunity to support Suffolk Sister City International's programming, all in an exquisitely decorated and enchanted setting.
By attending this exceptional gathering, you are supporting the work of our organization. Whether training young people to become citizen diplomats, providing nourishment to African children, or showing Suffolk to global visitors, our members take joy in developing global relationships and understanding. International friendships are, indeed, magical. How perfect to support that vision with a special evening in an enchanted setting. It is our hope that it continues to be a celebration of camaraderie and possibility!
