Gilroy Garlic Festival
Where else would a Road Trips Foodie be offered free garlic ice cream than at the annual Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California.
Yes, that’s one of the taste treats promised during the 36th annual fest, set for July 25 through 27, 2014. Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day of the weekend.
The admission price ($20 for adults) includes parking, musical entertainment, cooking demonstrations and a children’s area. Festival guests purchase food and beverages from the vendors. Prices range from $2 to $15 depending on the item, which is a full-size serving, not a sample.
Even though this is California, shirt and shoes are required.
