Pomaria returns to celebrate one of Trentino's finest fruits: the Protected Designation of Origin (DOP) apple from Val di Non. Now in its seventeenth edition, this festival has become one of the region's most anticipated autumn events—an unmissable opportunity to immerse yourself in the colours, flavours, and aromas that characterize the Noce Valleys. The event transforms the territory into a grand open-air stage where tradition, quality, and innovation converge in a complete sensory experience. Once again, the festival features its proven format with local producers' markets, gastronomic islands, and interactive workshops that make it unique. The major highlight of 2026 is ‹Pomaria in vetrina›: a competition inviting Cles merchants and shop owners to transform their storefront windows into autumn-themed displays bursting with colour and charm. This initiative extends the festival atmosphere throughout the town centre, creating an immersive shopping experience. Visitors from across Italy will have the unique opportunity to meet producers directly, pick apples straight from the trees, stroll through lush apple orchards, and taste the region's finest food and wine specialities. Two days celebrating authentic flavour, where certified DOP quality meets Trentino hospitality and the breathtaking beauty of Val di Non. **PRACTICAL INFORMATION:** The event takes place on 11–12 October 2026 in Livo (municipality of Denno) in Val di Non. Admission is free. For specific opening times, costs of special activities, and booking details, consult the official website or contact the local tourism office.
