The Gilroy Garlic Festival is making its long-awaited return this summer after a five-year hiatus. Set for July 25–27, the 46th festival will take place at Gilroy Gardens’ South County Grove, thanks to a new agreement between the theme park and the Garlic Festival Association. Tickets go on sale at 12 p.m. on May 31 through the association’s website. Gilroy Gardens Board Chair Dan Harney expressed support for the partnership, noting the shared commitment to celebrating and strengthening the local community. This marks the festival’s first return since 2019.
