Attendees come to sample a variety of sweet and savory garlic creations, from out-of-the-ordinary garlic-infused chocolate, cookies, ice cream, cupcakes, and cocktails, to classic, savory options like pastas, sandwiches, sauces, and spreads. The Fest features a Taste of Garlic Competition for the best Savory and Sweet creations, and the innovative dishes never disappoint!
