Mezinárodní krajkářské slavnosti 2026 jsou již za námi, ale za krajkami do Vamberka můžete přijet i nyní. Některé z výstav zůstávají přístupné i po skončení festivalu a Muzeum krajky ve Vamberku láká k návštěvě po celý rok.
Zveme vás na Mezinárodní krajkářské slavnosti 2026. Nenechte si ujít jedinečnou oslavu tradice, která se ve Vamberku píše už téměř 400 let. Výstavy, paličkování, workshopy, módní přehlídky a bohatý doprovodný program plný hudby. Letos opět propojíme krajky i s Podorlickým jarmarkem. Hlavním hostem festivalu je Krajkářská škola Idrija.
