Gilroy, California is the “Garlic Capital of the World”. The city of Gilroy holds an annual Garlic Festival every July .
The smell of garlic is in the air as soon as you step foot in Gilroy. It is a wonderful smell! If you want to try garlic, no problem, it is on everything, from garlic french fries to ice-cream. The grilled corn with garlic butter was my favorite.
There are live cooking competitions, which makes you feel like you are on the set of a Food Network show. I was lucky enough to get to take a picture with one of the pans.
There is also live music and arts and crafts that you are able to enjoy.
If you have the ability to get to Gilroy, California you definitely need to experience this event. The dates for the upcoming festival are July 29-31, 2016. You can buy tickets in advance at: www.gilroygarlicfestival.com
Enjoy!
