Health-food festival

Christmas Hill Park
San Jose and Silicon Valley, CA 95020
United States
+1 408 842 1625 (Organizers)
http://www.gilroygarlicfestiva...
Two tons of free garlic goes into the food preparations at this annual event that celebrates the benefits of the seasoning. If that's not enough to ward off your date, you can both happily participate in the arts and crafts workshops and the great garlic cook-off—the highlight of the fest. There's more fun in form of celebrity cooking demonstrations, children's corners, music, interactive sponsor displays and the Garlic Festival Queen Pageant. The non-profit Gilroy Garlic Festival Association uses the proceeds from the fare to support the community. Work with them to help society, and party with them for some clean, family fun. Check the Web site for pricing and tickets.
