The 46th edition of Galician Costume Day will be held on Sunday, July 20th, as part of the program for the 2025 Apostle's Day festivities.

Throughout the day, the costume will take to the streets of Compostela, with parades through the historic center and a final parade in Plaza de la Quintana.

This event is organized by the Galician Costume Association, the Santiago City Council, and is sponsored by El Corte Inglés.

46th Galician Costume Competition

Three main categories are established: men's costumes, women's costumes, and groups of ten or more people.

Within each category, participants can participate in only one of the two subcategories: antique costume (complete or individual pieces) or modern costume (gala or everyday).

Those interested can register for the competition until July 17.
