ZAGREB, 5 Sept, 2021 - The 25th International Lace Festival will take place in the northern Croatian town of Lepoglava from 10 to 12 September, showing lace works from Croatia and 11 other countries.

"This year's festival will be a sort of retrospective of the past 25 festival years at which we will show visitors some of the finest examples of lace that have been displayed at our festival," Mayor Marijan Škvarić told a press conference earlier this week while announcing the event.

The festival will take place at the Pauline Monastery and on show will be examples of lace made in Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, France, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Hungary, which is this year's partner country.

The programme includes a panel on the art of lacemaking and a fair of traditional handicrafts and old crafts.

Lepoglava lace was inscribed on UNESCO's intangible cultural heritage list in 2009.
