If you think the Mostra do Encaixe de Camariñas is just a lace-making event, you haven’t seen much of the world, my friend! Here, every Easter, the town bursts with life—lace makers setting the rhythm with their bobbins, jaw-dropping fashion shows, and an atmosphere that wraps around you like a finely crafted fabric.
What started over 30 years ago as a way to give our artisans the recognition they deserve has become a true celebration of talent, tradition, and modernity. Because here, lace-making isn’t just history—it’s also the future, avant-garde, and innovation. That’s why renowned designers and rising fashion stars come every year to make their mark on a runway where the threads of the past and present intertwine with style.
But the Mostra is much more than lace: it’s emotion, it’s connection, it’s the pure essence of Camariñas. If you’ve ever stepped into our fairgrounds and heard the click-clack of bobbins in the hands of the lace-makers, you already know what we mean. If not, now’s the time. Come, see, feel… and discover why here, the thread never breaks!
When the first applause echoes and the ribbon is cut, there’s no turning back: the Mostra do Encaixe is officially on! Five days where Camariñas dresses up to celebrate the very best of our craftsmanship and fashion. The opening ceremony is the big kickoff, the moment when lace-makers, designers, visitors, and officials come together to launch this festival of talent and tradition. There’s no red carpet here, but we have something much better: lace, passion, and a pride you can feel in the air. If you want to experience the excitement of the Mostra from the very first moment, this is where it all begins!
At the Mostra do Encaixe, there’s fashion, there are catwalks, there’s craftsmanship… but there’s so much more! If you thought this was just about models and runways, get ready to be amazed by the hidden gems of our fairground.
Because in the pavilions of the Mostra there is no shortage of fun or tradition, and every step you take will lead you to discover something different.
Here you’ll find lace-makers from all over Spain, coming together to share their art and wisdom, with the rhythmic click-clack of their bobbins as the soundtrack. If you spot a little one skillfully working the lace, they’re from the Lace School, proving that the future of this craft is in good hands. And if good food is what moves you, get ready to taste the best seafood from Costa da Morte—because it’s not just about watching, it’s about savoring too!
The Mostra is more than just fashion shows and lace-making: it’s tradition, flavor, connection, and life. Dare to explore every pavilion and find out why this event is one of a kind!
The Mostra is a showcase of art and craftsmanship, of tradition and innovation, of vocation, of passion, of encounter and friendship. The Mostra is the beginning of my dream, the main thread of the fabric of this project.

The Mostra is the perfect fusion between the deeply rooted Galician culture that Camariñas lace represents, with new arts such as fashion.
