For four decades, the heart of the Gilroy Garlic Festival Association’s mission has centered around community, kindness, and inspiration.
Held at Bloomfield Ranch in August of 1979, the first-ever festival sprang to life as a unique and original Gilroy experience. It celebrated the joy of garlic, the food it flavors, and the music and arts that the bulb inspires — all in support of local nonprofits.
The Gilroy Garlic Festival Association seeks to be defined by more than just one signature festival. Throughout the year, the festival will continue to work to connect the community with other smaller events, educational activities, and giving opportunities. Times, dates, and tickets for upcoming events will be released soon.
Its historic mission to strengthen the bonds within the community is an ongoing commitment. Join the Festival in continuing to make Gilroy a more caring, economically sound, and connected place to live, work and play. Moving forward, the festival will increase its focus on three foundations — community, sustainability, and education. While the festival benefits nonprofits in Gilroy, it also supports amateur and commercial garlic growers throughout California.
The board seeks to continue to renew its goal of attracting growing numbers of passionate garlic lovers, foodies, and those with a passion for community — all while retaining the festival’s original quirky and family-friendly feel. As always, the festival will showcase Gilroy as a community rich in arts and culture, with opportunities to engage with local garlic farmers and celebrated culinary experts from around the country.
