Gilroy Garlic Festival

I have lived in Gilroy for about 39 years, I went to this ONE time, and ti was my last. Too many punks, too many drunks and too many smart ass cops!

I missed the traffic lines because I rode my motorcycle, parked without problems, got in without waiting too long, had to expect a bit of a wait becuase it is a large event.

The food was outstandnig but small portions and too much money… No I didn’t expect a giant plate but for ten dollars I expected more that four piees of calamari!!!

If it were not for the drunks and the punks the cops wouldn’t be smart asses, eliminate the first to issues and the Garlic festival would be great. I realize people like to drink whith good food… but do it while being responisble, people come with kids and want to have a good family time out.

This is NOT worth the hype. We sat in 3 hours of traffic for a MEDIOCRE fair. The food was not even good. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME.

P.S. Garlic ice cream tastes like feet.

I really like the smell of garlic, so I always enjoy road trips when we drive by Gilroy… I love garlicky food, so maybe it would be a fun place to eat!

Garlic Ice Cream! I wanna go!!

It’s amazing how versatile garlic is.

I didn’t go during the Garlic Festival but my husband and I did have a short kind of Honeymoon here. It was a cute area with alot of good shopping!

...until 43P but it sounds interesting (& I love garlic)

I live within a few minutes of the festival – and I avoid it when possible.
There is a lot of good food, and I guess if you are around, you should go once, but I won’t make a special trip.

I love garlic. I put garlic in most things I cook. I can never have enough garlic. (And it’s good for you too.)

I’m going to have to go to this some year, maybe next year (2006).

Garlic ice cream.

Friendly advice: bring breath mints…a lot of breath mints
