The annual Gilroy Garlic Festival returns in modified form this year with three separate events centering around the highly aromatic herb. First is the famous Gourmet Alley, where hungry non-vampires can consume a cornucopia of garlicky classics. This year’s Alley is more alley-like than ever in that it is a drive-thru event. Saturday night’s farm-to-table dinner at Fortino Winery meanwhile is a more upscale affair: a four-course meal sourced from local ingredients, paired with local wines and, of course, cooked with local garlic. Then the following weekend at Gilroy Golf Course, there’s the Garlic Festival Golf Classic, where everybody stinks on the course.

It’s been 39 years since the world got its first taste of the Gilroy Garlic Festival, and the three-day celebration of the city’s most beloved aromatic bulb lives on. This year, the Gourmet Alley chefs are cooking up a mouthwatering addition to the menu: delicious deep-fried garlic shrimp. Famous festival favorites include garlic-laced calamari, fries and stuffed mushrooms. Munch on garlicky goodness while listening to local bands like Mike Malinao & The Red Barn Rockerz and Vintage Noise. The whole family will enjoy this celebration of great food, live entertainment and special events, like the iron chef-style Garlic Showdown. The festival runs through July 30.
