Events in Venice today

Every Tuesday, BrewBurger's hosts an open mic in Venice, led by either Zach Regan or another rotating host. Look forward to live music, an upbeat and welcoming atmosphere, and plenty of food.

Hosted by The Long Walk Home, this recurring workshop welcomes veterans, military families, and community members who want to learn effective ways to support service members and their families as they return to civilian life. Participants explore practical approaches for rebuilding relationships, adapting to less structured routines, and pursuing work that matches their strengths and values. The sessions also acknowledge the unseen impacts of service, including stress and trauma, and offer guidance for standing with both veterans and their loved ones through those challenges. There is no fee to participate, and RSVPs are requested so appropriate resources can be prepared. To reserve a spot, call or text (305) 399-5454 or email Ron@thelongwalkhome.org.

A calming midday yoga session in the serene setting of Blue Lotus Meditation Center focuses on resetting your energy, deepening the breath, and returning to the rest of the day feeling steady and refreshed. Guided instruction encourages you to slow the pace and reconnect through gentle movement, conscious breathing, and simple meditation. With an emphasis on presence and accessibility, it invites you to listen inward and make space for both stillness and thoughtful motion. It welcomes those continuing an existing practice as well as anyone seeking a quiet pause in the middle of the day.

Led by Darlene and the crew, this women-focused, beginner-friendly group ride sets out from Bicycles International and covers about 20 miles at a steady 12 to 14 mph on a route to Bay Street and back. The emphasis is on building confidence, meeting fellow riders, and staying active in a welcoming, no-race, no-pressure environment. Participants should bring a bike, a helmet, and water, and are welcome to invite a friend. The ride also recognizes 40 years of cycling community at Bicycles International.

Set at the gazebo in Centennial Park in downtown Venice, this casual office hours session with Peter Leman of White Sands Realty Group FL welcomes anyone for conversation.

The focus is community first, with real estate only if it naturally comes up. Stay for a few minutes or settle in for a longer chat, and come exactly as you are. Open to everyone and designed to help you feel informed before you begin any home search.
