About us

Trento is a small city, but it carries in it the seed of change

For over 7 years, we have been committed to shifting the balance in the city in a fresh and innovative way, creating spaces for socio-cultural exchange, intergenerational dialogue, and discussions that are welcoming to everyone. Our vision of the future stems from the urgent need to build a strong and cohesive community, starting with a passion for music and pop culture.

Planning, organization, artistic direction, fundraising, managing relationships with institutions, artists, and sponsors, communication: everything is handled by a team of young people under 30 who move forward without safety nets toward a shared dream, unafraid to experiment and forge new paths, creating connections and bringing boundaries closer together.

Poplar unites hundreds of young volunteers under 30 to realize a collective dream, authentic and inclusive for everyone

Poplar was founded in 2017 by a group of young volunteers, driven by the desire to contribute to the cultural growth of the area through a large event that would allow young people to connect with and engage with the socio-cultural fabric of Trentino.

An audience of all ages and from all over the country

Year after year, Poplar has grown a lot, attracting an audience of all ages from all over Italy. Four nights of live music in the protected area of Doss Trento park and four afternoons of talks with Poplar Cult! in the Piedicastello square. Poplar aims to bring together different formats, topics, and artists, blending them in unexpected ways. At the heart of this shared momentum lies the deep conviction that only through the constant willingness to engage with ideas, experiences, and languages different from our own can we grow and help our community grow.
