David BorchardtAugust 1, 2015Corn on the cob was good. Very well organized, this was so prevalent that I cannot overstate how well the festival runs. Friendly people. Good smoothies.
Mike WinstonJuly 30, 2015From the moment I heard about this garlic-centric festival at the Garlic Capital of the World, I knew I had to go. Learn how to beat the heat, crowds, and many other pitfalls on WinstonWanders below! Read more
Lani TeshimaJuly 28, 2013Traffic gets bad later in the day. Save yourself the frustration by getting here as early as you can. Lot opens an hour before the festival opens and you'll be able to park right near the entrance.
Caroline DengJuly 28, 2015They have FREE garlic ice cream, and the garlic kettle corn is good. Parking is crowded, so be ready to take shuttles to the actual festival.
CamiliaJuly 28, 2019Enjoy the heat and the food. The best time come to the festival is after 3pm. Not crowded.
- Michelle SSeptember 21, 2019This festival is so much fun and the food is delicious! Garlic fries, garlic bread and garlic gelato are a must!
wai-ling q.April 12, 2010July 23-25, '10. If you love garlic and can brave the hot weather...you have to go to this. About every food done with garlic. Stuffed mushrooms, craw fish, jelly beans, sausage & peppers...family fun
Esther SantacruzJuly 26, 2014You absolutely cannot leave without having had garlic fries (from one of the tents with the big balloons)
Gloria YAugust 2, 2011Very hot and very crowded... But well worth it! The bands at the main amphitheater stage are awesome, and the beer garden is right next door!
Matt Van HornJuly 25, 2010Garlic shrimp scampi is amazing. Obv get garlic fries and bread. Get the pay for praline garlic ice cream. Fried garlic just tastes like fried anything.
ablackonamac Michael PortisJuly 30, 2011Come by Ring Around The Toezees to check out their amazing selection of custom fitted toe rings thumb rings, @ anklets! #Teamtoezees
Abraham OrozcoNovember 5, 2014Lived in Gilroy my whole life, and never go here. Too much people, too much traffic. But I heard the food is really really bomb!
Jay MJuly 24, 2010The Crab Garlic Fries are great! There's also a booth handing out free samples of Garlic Ice Cream, definitely worth a try!
- When it gets too hot head over to the wine tent. They have overhead misters!
Christine IbarraJuly 28, 2012Be prepared for a long, bumpy, dusty, rocky hike with some down hill action.
Come to the wine tent. Taste Lightheart Cellars' Chardonnay
Tobias SchmidtJuly 30, 2018It's one of these things you have to do at least once in your life. It's also distinctly underwhelming in every respect.
Andrew RivlinJuly 27, 2014Just plain awful. Don't go, stay home and make a garlic dish for way cheaper.
- Jessica CullerJuly 23, 2010Huh. Coconut calamari is a couple creepy big pieces and not very coconut-y. Meh.
