Garlic Festivals
NOTE: COVID-19 has impacted the ability to host Garlic Festivals all over the world. We have left the links up to the many festivals we were highlighting and encourage you to visit their websites to learn more. We have up left the month that each festival is usually held and will update the list when we receive updates and confirmations. We hope that these many festivals will be able to return next year and in the meantime wish the best to all those affected by these cancellations. Stay healthy!
The U.S. is the sixth top producer of garlic, with much of its supply coming out of Gilroy, California, the self-proclaimed garlic capital of the world. Gilroy also lays claim to holding the granddaddy of all American garlic festivals on the final weekend of July. But it's far from the only festival highlighting the Stinking Rose..... !
