Festa do Mexillón – FMB | Vilanova de Arousa

Gold and Diamond Badges

The Vilanova de Arousa Mussel and Cockle Festival has a packed programme of activities.
Since 1997, the Mussel and Cockle Festival, with the collaboration of the Vilanova de Arousa City Council, has paid tribute to nearly 80 personalities from different fields (institutional, cultural, sports, social…) with the event’s Gold and Diamond Badges. In this way, the work carried out in favour of the promotion and dissemination of the star produce of this event is recognized, as well as the sectors of the sea and canning, directly linked to them, and also for their contribution to improving Vilanova society in different areas.
The official presentation of these awards is usually held in the gardens of the Valle-Inclán House-Museum, one of the iconic spaces of the municipal capital. The event is usually presided over by the mayor, as well as by other representatives of different institutions, such as the Xunta de Galicia or Pontevedra Provincial Council, as well as members of the festival organization.
