The Venice Shark Tooth Festival was back after a three-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The festival debuted in 1992 with this year seeing thousands of people descend on the historic downtown at Venice’s Centennial Park.
The festival was this past weekend. But if you missed it you can shark tooth hunt year-round on Venice beaches.
