North Plains, Oregon celebrates garlic with their Summerfest & Garlic Outwest! event held in August. Chehalis, Washington celebrates garlic with their Garlic Fest & Craft Show and the people of Gilroy, California have celebrated garlic for 35 years! Their Gilroy Garlic Festival includes three days of summer fun; a garlic bowl, free garlic ice cream, a craft show and cook-off. They claim to have used 10 tons of beef, 4 tons pasta, 2 tons scampi, 2 tons calamari, 2 tons fresh garlic in their cooking over the years and they have raised 9.7 million dollars for local charities. Makes me want to visit Gilroy in July!
