Handmade Decoration and Confectionery with a Personal Touch – Ligia Galvao | Lara Party Decoration and Lara Gourmet, taking events to new levels of beauty and taste.
Hello, I’m Ligia Galvao, a Bahia native who brought the vibrant essence of Brazil with her to the United States. In 2001, I arrived in Maryland in search of new opportunities for myself and my daughter. With a history of challenges and achievements, I started with a small cleaning business and soon discovered my passion for decorating and baking.
Founder of Lara Party Decoration and Lara Gourmet, I offer services that combine creativity, quality and love for what I do. With certifications in balloon decoration and an Associates degree in Culinary Arts, each event I produce is unique and designed to exceed expectations. Nothing makes me happier than seeing each client’s satisfied smile at the end of a perfect event.
Ligia Galvao was recently honored with the “Latinos Top Magazine & Production” award, recognizing her as the Most Influential Latin American Woman in her region. This prestigious accolade celebrates her remarkable journey of entrepreneurship and resilience in the United States.
Since arriving in the U.S. in 2001, Ligia has demonstrated unwavering dedication to the community by founding Lara Party Decoration and Lara Gourmet. Her work has elevated the standard of events and gastronomy in Maryland and Washington DC, standing out for creativity and excellence.
The “Latinos Top Magazine & Production” award is presented by Latinos Top Magazine, an international publication focused on promoting Latino entrepreneurs and social leaders. This recognition highlights individuals who have a significant impact on their communities and serve as an inspiration to others.
Ligia views this award as a celebration of the strength of women and Latin culture, reaffirming her commitment to continue making a difference through her passionate and innovative work.
“This award is not just about me, but about showing that with courage and hard work, we can transform our lives and inspire others along the way.”

Bahian cuisine is known for its intense flavors, unmistakable aromas and African roots, which bring tradition and joy to every dish. One of the highlights is acarajé, a delicacy made with black-eyed peas, typical spices and fried in palm oil. This irresistible delicacy is filled with vatapá, dried shrimp and pepper, making it an explosion of flavors. Bringing acarajé and other dishes from Bahia to your event is a way of sharing the culture, joy and flavor of Bahia in every bite.”
