EXOTIC FOODS
Chow Down! You won’t believe the many different ways garlic can be used. Here’s a tasty sampling . . . garlic jellies, garlic soup, pickled garlic, and GARLIC ICE CREAM!!
GARLIC AND CRAFT MARKETPLACE
Garden of Eve and the other Long Island Organic Farms represented grow more than a ton of freshly harvested, organic garlic. . . stock up, for months of tasty, healthy, garlic-enhanced meals – or plant some in your garden yourself! We’ll have garlic of several different varieties on hand, as well as garlic braids and crafts. This is your best opportunity to buy some of the world’s tastiest and freshest garlic to eat and plant in your own garden.
FAMILY ACTIVITIES AND ENTERTAINMENT
Enjoy live music both days. Kids will love the children’s games and play equipment, pumpkin picking, pony rides, hay rides, and animals to see and feed.
Do you love Garlic? If so, you will want to check out Long Island’s only Garlic Festival, even bigger and better than last year. This year we’re featuring MORE food, MORE crafts, and MORE Garlic.
If it’s not obvious from all of the above, the Long Island Garlic Festival is all about celebrating the harvest season, enjoying good garlic, and most of all, having fun!
