The ice cream event in Berlin: Gelato Week Berlin 2024
Gelato Week Berlin 2024
The former Berlin Ice Cream Week is turning into a national event and also in Berlin it’s becoming bigger than ever before: 56 fantastic ice cream parlours are participating and will be presenting their crazy ice cream flavors from April 18th to 24th for €1.50 per scoop.
Mustard with honey and fried cucumber, pretzel and caramel popcorn, quark with linseed oil and sesame, ayran with peppermint, fresh rosemary and Potsdam garden honey, fir ice cream made from fresh fir tips, green cucumber with dill and crème fraîche, white chocolate-basil, salted peanut with mint, elderflower with lavender, Tonka bean cookie in Madagascar vanilla cream… These are just some of the extraordinary ice cream flavours that you can taste during Gelato Week Germany in 56 exceptional ice cream shops all over Berlin (here you can find the full list). During the event, a scoop of these special flavours will costs only €1.50.
After four successful editions in Berlin – under the name Berlin Ice Cream Week – this year the event will spread beyond the borders of the capital to five other regions in Germany: From the Black Forest to North Rhine-Westphalia, from the Alpenvorland to Münsterland, from the Baden-Rhine-Mosel region to Berlin, there will be a different special, artisanal ice cream flavour to try in each of Germany’s participating ice cream parlours.
Gelato Week Germany: the event
The event originated from the intention to emphasise the quality of artisanal ice cream made from high-quality ingredients. This year, the goal is even more ambitious: get the spotlight an ice cream parlours that share precisely these values throughout Germany.
What? Each ice cream parlour will be offering its own special ice cream flavour for just €1.50 during the week of the event. These are unique and creative flavours, usually produced especially for the event, using unusual ingredients or preparation methods. (here you can find the full list for the Berlin event).
When? From the 18th to the 24th of April 2024.
Where? The event takes place directly in the participating ice cream parlours. More than 150 ice cream shops in six regions across Germany are involved this year.
Among this year’s participants are also two of the winners of the Carpigiani Challenge 2024 in Giessen: Artigiani, das natürliche Eis (Berlin) and Zambon Gelato (Lohr am Main), which placed first and third respectively. “Mediterraneo”, the rosemary and lemon zest ice cream that earned Artigiani the gold medal, will also be available at their shop in Lichterfelde (Unter den Eichen 94 b, 12205 Berlin) during Gelato Week Germany.
Let’s get the ice cream tour rolling
During the week of the event, a stamp contest will also be organised: For every visit to one of the participating ice cream parlours, customers will receive a stamp on their Gelato Week Germany map.
Anyone who collects at least 3 stamps on their region’s map can enter a raffle to win delicious prizes: First prize is a gelato voucher worth 100 euros, second prize is a gelato voucher worth 50 euros and third prize is a package of delicious Babbi products.
From Germany to the Riviera Romagnola
Gelato Week Germany is not just for those with a sweet tooth: Thanks to an Instagram photo contest, there is also the chance to win a trip to Italy.
How does it work? You have to post a picture of the ice cream on your own Instagram profile, use the hashtag #gelatoweekgermany, tag @gelatoweek_germany in the picture, and localize the ice cream parlor. The most creative photo could become the ticket for a trip for two to the Riviera Romagnola!
From Berlin Ice Cream Week to Gelato Week Germany
Changing the name of the event is not only linked to the need to drop the word “Berlin” as the event will take place simultaneously throughout Germany. It is much more the result of a growing discussion among ice cream masters about the differences in flavour between an “ice cream” and a “gelato”. The notion of “gelato” represents the concept of an artisanal and high-quality product.
Over the past four years, several ice cream parlours have participated with their increasingly unusual and distinctive flavours to the Berlin Ice Cream Week. In 2023, despite a rainy week, the 43 participating ice cream parlours sold more than 30,000 portions of the “special” ice cream flavour (in 2022 it was 35,000 portions under cloudy skies).
Gelato Week Germany: organisers and partners
Berlin Italian Communication is organising the Gelato Week Germany within the project True Italian and in collaboration with Babbi, co-organiser of the event.
Babbi is an Italian confectionery company specialised in the production of ingredients and base materials for ice cream and confectionery. Founded in 1952, the company is characterised by the combination of artisan tradition and innovation, offering high-quality products that satisfy even the most refined palates.
Partners this year are SIGEP, ICETeam, Naonix, CartoPrint and Creative Menu. The Berlin event is also supported by Barletta Eis Technik, Gastro Dennis and Tonste.
The event’s media partner is Berlino Magazine, the Italian online magazine for Italians in Germany.
