Acorn festival!

goBALANO is a festival rooted in the oak tree and the acorn—but it reaches far beyond them. Across the Northern Hemisphere, acorns have nourished people for thousands of years, shaping cultures, cuisines, and ways of living that are now largely forgotten. This festival brings that knowledge back into the open.

Through workshops, tastings, talks, and shared meals, goBALANO explores how a once-essential food can become part of our future again. It is a space where ancient practices meet present challenges—where questions of resilience, local food systems, and ecological responsibility take tangible form.

More than a festival, goBALANO is an invitation to rethink what we see around us. What if food is already here, waiting? What if the landscapes we pass every day hold untapped possibilities?

Open to all—curious beginners and experienced practitioners alike—goBALANO is a place to learn, taste, question, and reconnect with a living tradition that spans continents and generations.
