No, doubt there are many garlic festivals celebrated around the world, but believe me, the Gilroy Garlic Festival of California is the stinkiest and (most flavorful).
It is said that if you eat fresh garlic and you will have garlic breath. But nobody at the Gilroy Fest seems to notice. After all, it’s in almost every menu item. Many volunteers that run the festival cook up everything from garlic-based tri-tip, pesto pasta, to flaming garlic-saturated calimari, and garlic bread. Not only this, visitors can also find garlic wine, garlic beer, and garlic ice cream.
The Gilroy Garlic Festival began in 1979 and is run by the Gilroy Garlic Festival Association which is a non-profit organization intended to support non-profit groups and projects in Gilroy.
In this festival, you can feast on food made with over two tons of fresh garlic, enjoy three stages of musical entertainment, shop in arts and crafts, view the great garlic cook-off and other celebrity cooking demonstrations.
Every summer this festival is celebrated in California in imaginative and dramatic ways. This year Gilroy Garlic Festival will take place from 27th July to 29th July, 2007.
Hours: Festival is 10am to 7pm
Admission fee: $12.
So, attend this Gilroy Garlic Festival to get one of the most memorable experiences of your life but after the festival, don’t plan any important meeting for some days.
