Gelato day 2026: the day Europe celebrates gelato

Every year, gelato becomes the star of Europe. A celebration of craftsmanship, creativity and Italian heritage that brings together gelato makers and gelato lovers across the continent. Because gelato isn’t just a dessert. It’s pure JOY.

What is Gelato Day?

Gelato Day is the only day officially dedicated to artisanal gelato by the European Parliament. Celebrated every year on March 24th, it honours the culture, tradition and innovation of one of the most loved products in Europe.

Each edition features a “Flavour of the Year”, chosen to inspire gelato makers across Europe to interpret it with their own creativity and expertise.

A shared celebration of passion, talent and authentic taste.

The Gelato that makes Europe sing

For Gelato Day 2026, we created a flavour that speaks the language of harmony. Almond, pistachio and orange come together in a Mediterranean-inspired recipe where sweetness, creaminess and freshness blend in perfect balance.

Designed to enhance your creativity and make your showcase stand out.
