The Gilroy Garlic Festival, a beloved event that showcased local garlic farming since 1978, faced a tragic setback in 2019 due to a mass shooting. After a six-year hiatus, the festival plans a comeback in July, emphasizing a more intimate format on a new site, the South County Grove. Attendees can look forward to a beloved community tradition that supports local charities, as the festival had previously provided significant funding to local initiatives. Organizers are committed to reviving the festival's spirit while ensuring safety and enjoyment.
"We definitely wanted to regrow and rebuild the festival, so we wanted to start off small," said Paul Nadeau, president of the Garlic Festival Association.
"The revived event will take place July 25-27, the association announced in March, on the five-acre South County Grove next to the Gilroy Gardens theme park."
