Join us for a weekend-long celebration of all things garlic, flavor, and community! What started as a single garlic grower with a BBQ in Cope’s Park ten years ago has grown into a full-blown festival drawing garlic lovers from across the region. From a cozy pasta picnic to our signature Saturday market and a funky after-hours film, we’ve got something for garlic lovers of all stripes.
