The 18th edition of the Sherbeth Festival is scheduled for November 13 to 16, 2026, in Palermo. The event will host 60 master gelato makers from five continents, along with researchers and industry professionals.

The festival focuses on ‘Contemporary Artisanal Gelato,’ seeking to merge technical craftsmanship with scientific research and sustainable production. This objective is supported by collaborations with the CNR-IBE (Institute for Bioeconomy of the National Research Council) and Massey University in New Zealand. 

Beyond technical study, the festival aims to promote artisanal gelato as a piece of Italian cultural heritage and establish Palermo as a destination for culinary tourism through tastings and high cuisine.
