• Venice Sign - Stretching across Windward Avenue at Pacific, the illuminated VENICE Sign is a modern replica of the original installed in 1905 by the famed Abbot Kinney.

It stands as a defining emblem of Venice, both past and present.

In 2007, the Venice Sign Restoration Project recreated and installed the contemporary version of this historic sign. Since then, the Venice Chamber has been responsible for the sign and its trademark protection.

Join the global community of people who have a photo with Venice’s most iconic backdrop, The Venice Sign.

Visitors are welcome to photograph the sign for their personal use and enjoyment.

Wait at the traffic light until the walk signal appears, then dash out in front of the sign and strike a pose! You have about a 30-second window to capture your shot before the cars start moving.

Along the Venice Beach Boardwalk, you’ll encounter fortune tellers, eccentric artists, chanting Hare Krishnas, and bikini-clad roller-skaters. You’ll also see everyone else wanting to experience Southern California’s eclectic beachfront neighborhood.
