Gilroy Garlic Festival Back With a Bang | Oakland News

Garlic lovers, get ready—Gilroy’s legendary Garlic Festival is back this weekend, bigger than ever! Started in 1979, it’s the world’s largest garlic festival, run entirely by volunteers and a nonprofit that’s donated over $12 million to local schools and communities. After surviving a tragic 2019 shooting, pandemic cancellations, and financial struggles, it’s roaring back with garlic fries, calamari, pasta, even garlic ice cream—and live music and cooking demos. Just be warned: it’s a weekend of pure garlic, and your breath might not survive. Tickets: $35. Parking: $25. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
