Join the Gilroy Garlic Festival Association on Saturday, Sept. 7 for a delicious catered dinner outdoors in a picturesque location in Gilroy.

There will be a hosted bar, passed appetizers of grilled mini lamb chops, fig/brie crostini, and bacon-wrapped shrimp, and a dinner of mixed greens salad, fresh watermelon, and feta dressed with a balsamic vinaigrette;  baseball-cut top sirloin and jumbo prawn skewers; grilled vegetables, red skinned garlic mashed potatoes, and eggplant parmesan. Finally, finish the night with a dessert of warm apple cobbler with vanilla ice cream.

All proceeds benefit the Gilroy Garlic Festival Association, which has awarded over $12 million since 1979 to local schools, community groups, and charities.
