City of Venice
Venice, FL

The City of Venice is located in Southwest Florida on the Gulf of Mexico, midway between Tampa and Ft. Myers.

It is one of the earliest planned cities in the country, planned by John Nolen for the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers in the 1920's.

The city takes pride in its many parades, art fests, nationally award-winning community theater, and preserved natural environments.

Venice police officers will assist Sarasota Cty sheriff's deputies at a DUI checkpoint on Friday, May 20.
