2023 Gilroy Garlic Festival Association’s Golf Tournament

Sponsorships are now available for the Gilroy Garlic Festival’s 2nd Annual Garlic Golf Classic at the Gilroy Golf Course on June 23, 2023. The last year's tournament, held on June 24, 2022, was sold out, and this tournament is expected to sell out as well. The event features golf, lunch on the course, and a post-play dinner. Single play is $179, while dinner is $43, with the dinner prepared by Gourmet Alley chefs.   
The event starts at 1 p.m. Friday, June 23, with a shotgun start and a four-person scramble format, followed by dinner at 6 p.m., and fun games, all supporting the Gilroy Garlic Festival Association, which has raised more than $12 million for the community groups and charities since 1979.

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.
