Default Venice bank holiday

I'll be in Venice on Monday, which is the feast of the Immaculate
Conception.
two quick questions,
Are there any events connected to the religious celebration that are worth
visiting ?
Will shops, museums, transport etc. be effected ?
thanks in advance

I don't know of any special events - just "normal" religious services
in the churches. Shopkeepers can decide whether to open or not,
though I expect department stores, some supermarkets and shops
in the most central areas will be open. Public transport timetables
on Sun/bank holidays (except Christmas and perhaps New Year's)
vary only very slightly from working days. This does not apply to
most neighbouring towns however.
