For more than two decades, the Idrija Lace Festival has presented ‘Idrija lace’ and a local culinary speciality called idrijski žlinkrof. Lacemakers present their creations in the streets of Idrija, lace making competitions and exhibitions are organised, and thematic lace making workshops are held. It is also possible to buy lacemaking technical equipment and to view exhibitions of other folk trades and crafts.

In 2003 the opening ceremony included an international fashion show. During the festival a state lace making competition was held for children and adults, leading to the presentation of the Ivanka Ferjančič Award, supported by the EU Culture 2000 programme.

Exhibitions are held, mainly at Gewerkeneg Castle in Idrija. The 2003 Festival featured a travelling lace exhibition from Belgian Bevern, and 'Lace: Tradition in the Modern World', an exhibition of students of the Department of Textiles, University of Ljubljana. An exhibition of works from the Mercury International Bobbin Lace Competition was also presented, along with a display of lace prepared by students at a local lace making school. The festival also incorporated a competitive exhibition entitled 'Thematic lace', while at the Cafe Black Eagle the Triglav Split Society also staged its own lace exhibition.
