In celebration of the 29th Annual Abbot Kinney Festival, the AKFA is seeking ‘Spirit of Venice’ nominations from the Venice community. 

The first ‘Spirit of Venice’ Award was presented at the 6th Annual Abbot Kinney Festival in 1989 to descendants of the founder of Venice, Abbot Kinney. 

Created by John Kertisz, Poet Laureate and a 1989 Festival board member, the award recognizes people actively involved in the community and/or who serve as inspirational role models.
