The 34th annual Gilroy Garlic Festival (July 27, 28, and 29, 2012) is a popular South Bay tradition billed as the “Ultimate Summer Food Fair” — three days of incredible food, beverages, arts & crafts, and live entertainment. You can save $2 off the gate price when you buy tickets in advance, either online or at one of the markets listed below. And residents of Gilroy can get a $5 discount for Friday.
The event includes dozens of concerts and plenty of kids activities. In 2011, ”Top Chef” Angelo Sosa and country recording artist Kip Moore headlined the entertainment throughout the event.
“The 100,000-plus attendees will enjoy a critically acclaimed fare that features Gourmet Alley’s scampi, calamari, stuffed mushrooms, peppersteak sandwiches and pasta con pesto. The much-anticipated new addition, the Alley Wrap, is a steak and shrimp delicacy enhanced with rice, cilantro, cumin, aioli and garlic, enveloped in a garlic-infused lavash.”
