Was on 30-Jan-16.
12 selected pretty young girls were selected as Marie candidates.
Later on, only one will be selected as Marie of this year.
On this day, the twelve girls were paraded all the way up to San Marco Square.
Before they were brought up to the parade, there was introduction of the girls, somewhere in via Garibaldi. The girls also danced with song YMCA.
Below was quoted from the website.
The traditional “Festa delle Marie” evokes the homage that the Venetian Doge offered every year to twelve beautiful but humble venetian girls, offering them magnificent jewels as a bridal dowry. The “Festa delle Marie” is articulated in different days and it is the occasion to admire the traditional venetian period costumes. The event will be inaugurated with the parade of the twelve girls selected in the previous weeks.
The walking parade, escorted by the historical groups of C.E.R.S. and the Venice Carnival groups (Ass. Amici del Carnevale di Venezia and Ass. Internazionale per il Carnevale di Venezia), will start at San Pietro di Castello at 2.30 pm, will parade all along via Garibaldi and Riva degli Schiavoni and it will reach San Marco stage at 4.00 pm, where the twelve “Marias” will be introduced to the crowd waiting for them.
