THANK YOU FOR CELEBRATING THE RETURN OF THE LEGENDARY
Gilroy Garlic Festival

BRINGING BACK THE COMMUNITY SPIRIT, MOUTHWATERING GARLIC DISHES, AND UNFORGETTABLE FUN!
The unmistakable aroma of garlic once again filled the air as thousands of attendees gathered to celebrate the return of the legendary food festival. From the sizzling sounds of Gourmet Alley to the laughter of families enjoying live entertainment on the traditional last weekend in July, every moment reminded us why this festival has captured hearts since its beginnings in 1979. Thank you to everyone who made the 2025 festival a tremendous success!
