Minnesota Garlic Festival is the premier event for lovers of garlic and good times, promoting gourmet garlic farming in Minnesota. Family friendly, fun filled and fragrant, this festival features local foods, chefs, music, artisans, games, competitions, and lots of garlic - all in support of a healthy environment, sustainble farms and vital rural communities in Minnesota.

Minnesota garlic growers will have their fresh 2009 gourmet garlic available, and it can keep in your kitchen for up to a year!  There are over 100 varieties of garlic grown here, all planted in October, harvested in July, and cured to perfection just in time for the festival. Other than the great taste, it is well documented that garlic is one of the healthiest foods you can eat.

The Garlic Festival offers a unique culinary experience with a cadre of renowned Minnesota chefs converging at the festival cafe, “The Great ‘Scape", and a sumptuous selection of celebrity chefs will present cooking demonstrations on the main stage throughout the day.  Check back here in the Summer to get the full roster.

We'll continue our tradition of unique entertainment, with festival favorites returning, plus some new acts.  There's plenty of activities for the kids, including the popular kite flying attraction and old-style country picnic games.

Come to farm country and Taste the Bounty!
