Between Earth and Sky is an extraordinary event celebrating 20 years of Pomaria, the traveling festival of Val di Non that rotates among four municipalities: Denno, Cles, Livo, and Casez. On Saturday, July 25, 2026, Denno will host this celebration that brings together tradition, authentic flavors, and territorial culture in a festive and engaging atmosphere. A sensory journey through local gastronomic excellence: from Trentino DOP cured meats and cheeses to DOC wines and craft beers, from zero-kilometer fruit and vegetables to the many transformations of the apple, the undisputed queen of Val di Non. Each taste tells stories of producer families who preserve recipes passed down through generations. The experience is enriched with immersive interactive activities: hands-on workshops in traditional cooking where you'll learn to prepare Trentino canederli and gnocchi made from raw potatoes, sensory workshops on mindful tasting, and educational paths dedicated to apple processing techniques. This is not merely tasting, but conscious discovery of culinary heritage. The emotional heart of the event is an inclusive piazza performance blending theater, live music, and street art. Local performers and artists will tell stories of growth, rootedness, and connection inspired by the wisdom of trees, creating a fascinating dialogue between nature and community. Between Earth and Sky celebrates the profound bond between Val di Non citizens and their land, reflecting the sustainable agricultural values that have characterized this extraordinary Trentino-Alto Adige region for generations, transforming a celebration into a manifesto of territorial identity.
