For the past 9 years the city of Jesolo, which is across the bay from Venice, holds a sand castle statue exhibit during Christmas. The exhibit features life size statues of stores of the Nativity but it also includes other subjects, this year being Nelson Mandela, and scenes of workers from the Medieval era.
The exhibit is held through January and is in the center of Jesolo. There is no charge, and the only thing negative I could say about this exhibit is that the line is long to enter. The statues are crafted by internationally known sculptors and the life size statues are very beautiful. You can see this from the photos I have included below.
There is parking located 5 minutes away.

Hum....very disappointed by Lido di Jesolo. We chose to stay four days there after visiting Venice. But we found it to be a good resort for old ladies who like to walk by the seaside and browse tacky shops but otherwise quite boring.
All of the shops seems to be selling the same "made in China" plastic stuff and any other goods (clothes, watches, sunglasses) were of unknown brands and were very cheap looking. In the end, quite good for the wallet as you are not tempted to buy anything at all.
Same for the restaurants: lots of tourist traps (why would you go to Italy to eat a beacon sandwich or sausages with fries?) rather than good quality Italian restaurants. Only the Italian ice-creams / Gelato parlours were great. We ended up buying our own (local and yummy) food at the supermarket and cooking home.
We were surprised by the lack of children playgrounds. We ended up just taking our kids to the beach which is basically a very long stretch of sand surronded by hundreds of hotels. Sure the kids had a great time digging the sand on the beach, but we were a bit bored. The beach front is swamped by medium-sized hotels with lots and lots of chairs and parasols. Not very natural looking. No great snack bars or restaurants directly overlooking on the beach either.
All in all, we felt that the resort was too built-up and that natural beauty of the seashore had been destroyed. This meant lots of noise and traffic, including at night.
I don't think this is a good resort for nature lovers and/or people looking for a true Italian holiday. In fact, it could well have been located on the Spanish Costa Del Sole (equally built-up) that we would have not notice. There is an air of fakeness and cheapness that definitely put us off.

I think that this restaurant is mainly a tourist trap. I went there with my uncle to eat fried seafood. Well, I am actually not fond of fried seafood, but the one I had at Trocadero was so so. Quality of the seafood was ok, but prices are really EXPENSIVE and I don't think this restaurant is worth going. We spent 37 € each and our menu was:
crostini with salmon
fried seafood plus french fries
water and wine
coffee.
The ambience itself is not that nice, pretty old. I think this restaurant would be ok if it was cheaper. So I will never go back and I would not suggest it to my friends.
Favorite Dish: No favorite dish. Anyway the menu doesn't offer a wide choice, so it is a big problem if you don't want to order fried seafood. My boyfriend doesn't like seafood so he took gnocchi with tomato sauce and he paid 37 € as well!!!!!!
The only positive aspect of this restaurant might be the location, because it is near a wild beach that might be nice at summer time.

This is one of the most famous clubs in Lido di Iesolo.
It's open in the summerseason (from april till september) but only on wednesday, friday, saturday and sunday.It has 1 dancefloor and a garden with a little dancefloor but that's only open in highseason.
There are national and international deejays and the crowd is allways crazy. The first time i was there my friends where in shock...guys in pink t-shirts,huge sunglasses en weird haircuts, but i loved it!
It isn't cheap to go to Il Muretto, the entrance varies from 15 - 30 E and on special nights even more.
It opens at midnight (it gets crowded at 01:30) and ends at 06:00.You can get a drink for 8 -10 E.
Girls allways get in (and pay less) the bouncers aren't that bad but some guys don't get in.
Il Muretto is for people who like house music,like to see the latest fashion and can live on only 2 drinks (that is if you aren't rich)
Dress Code: From casual till over the top.

See also my tip about this restaurant. Anyway, I went there with my uncle to eat fried seafood. Quality of the seafood was ok, but prices were really EXPENSIVE and I don't think this restaurant is worth going. We spent 37 € each and our menu was:

Unique Suggestions: Check the menu before ordering!!
Fun Alternatives: Try to go to another restaurant... unfortunatly I cannot suggest you a good restaurant in the area, but try to avoid this one if you care of your money!!

Favorite thing: Every year since 2002 Jesolo have a famous Christmas event. Several sculptor from all over the world come and build those amazing real size statues about the Nativity and more.
This year the statues represent the ancient local job such as boat builder, construction builder, ferrier, bakery shop and more.
The detail they are able to impress in the sand are amazing! I still wonder how they make sure the all thing does not fall apart!
The exhibit is in a covered area and the admission is free of charge, but the line to get in can be very long. Wear something very warm ad standing in the freezing air can be really unconfortable, especially if it is windy.
