Gilroy Garlic Festival July 27, 28, 29 2007

My friends & I were talking about the Gilroy Garlic Festival July 27, 28, 29 2007 and I was wondering if anyone has been to it.

What did you think? Was it worth it?

Cheers,

I've never been, but I do know that my friend who is allergic to garlic can not drive anywhere in the vicinity of Gilroy at any time of the year.

I visit the Bay Area every summer and unfortunately haven't been there during this time

Gilroy garlic fries FTW!

I wasn't too impressed by it when we went last year. Food was decent, but way overpriced, with long lines at all of the good stands. That wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the blistering sun, 103+ degree weather, and total lack of shade. Garlic ice cream was pretty good though.

It's fun if you've never been. Garlic fries!!!!

I LOOOOVE garlic. One of my favorite things ever. So yeah I've been

Been there when I was 7 or 8. Forgot.

I was almost going to go 2 years ago but it was WAYYY too hot we decided to hit the outlets instead =)

you eat, then eat some more. Everything with garlic, garlic ice cream, pasta, garlic fries. And yes, 100+ degree weather.

Other than that, pretty much like any other festival, there's arts and crafts, some cooking shows and live music. If you live in the area it's worth it, otherwise I'd say forget it.

It's pretty fun, the food is great. I also recommend the strawberry festival in Oxnard.
