Greetings fellow garlic fans!

Thank you to everyone who came out and enjoyed a nice fall weekend at the 2025 Garlic Fest. We would like to invite you to join us for the 21st Annual Connecticut Garlic & Harvest Festival. It will be held on October 10-11, 2026 at the Bethlehem Fairgrounds on Route 61 in Bethlehem, Connecticut (just north of town). Visit our garlic cooking demonstrations, stay for a live band performance, and learn how to grow garlic at our informative lectures. Many garlic dips, spreads, cheeses, and oils will be available for purchase from our diverse garlic specialty food vendors – most offering FREE samples to try before you buy! Stop by our produce stands for fresh garlic and a variety of other fall produce. When you’re hungry, venture over to our food court. Homemade roasted garlic sausage with peppers and onions, wood fired garlic pizzas, specialty garlic sliders, deep fried garlic, and garlic ice cream are just some of the items you’ll find at our food court! Bring the kids for some fun with pony rides, a petting zoo, and bounce house fun zone! We hope that you will join us in 2026!
