Gilroy Garlic Festival is Coming

Gilroy Garlic Festival
  The Gilroy Garlic Festival is coming back on July 27, 28, and 29 so get your taste buds ready for  all the garlic they can handle.  So whether it's garlic meatballs or your standard garlic fries or the ever popular Garlic ice cream they will have it all at the Gilroy Garlic Festival. This is the 34th annual Gilroy Garlic Festival so they know how to put together a festival that garlic lovers will enjoy and I think you will find something here for everyone. The location of the garlic festival is at Christmas Hill Park in Gilroy Ca. So it will be easy to find just off Hwy. 101 30 miles South of San Jose and 30 miles North of Salinas once again on Hwy. 101.

Gilroy Garlic Festival Gourmet Alley

     At the Gilroy Garlic Festival the they have taken great care to pick vendors that provide some of the best garlic infused recipes around and you will not be disappointed. I know chocolate with garlic doesn't really sound the best but you will go back for seconds. Gourmet Alley is really what the garlic festival is all about, it's really the food that's why everyone comes from the guests to the vendors. They all want to see what the next person has done with garlic to make it that next great recipe. Not to mention the Great Garlic Festival Recipe Contest and Cook off.

Music and Entertainment

     This is one of my favorite parts of the weekend is the music they always have great bands playing at the Gilroy Garlic Festival. There will be many different bands and musicians playing every day  either on stage or simply strolling around the festival area so you will never be far from musical entertainment. The different types of music are Blues, Country, Jazz, Rock and Roll, Reggae and a lot more.
