With dozens of on-site vendors that range from independent farmers to local restaurants, competitions between some of the region’s top chefs, and a tent devoted entirely to cheese, this is a food-lover’s playground.

Get Your Garlic On

If you’re not a garlic lover already, you’ll be one by day’s end with the spread available at this festival. A walk down Garlic Gourmet Alley will get you up close and personal with some of the most delicious garlic-inspired recipes in the city, including the perennial favorite Garlic Fries and Garlic Ice Cream from Cleveland confectioners Mitchell’s Homemade Ice Cream.

Grab a seat for the Top Chef Garlic Grill-Off, which pits some of the best chefs in the Land against each other in judged competition in categories for beef, chicken, pork and vegetarian dishes. Oh, and don't forget to hit up the wine and craft brew tents to wash all that garlic goodness down.

Beyond the Bulbs

When you need to take a break from all those good garlicky eats, the fest has you covered with a variety events for the whole family. The Mighty Locavores Kid’s Zone features a pedal tractor maze, storytelling, face painting and more for all those cute little cloves of joy in your life.
 
The whole family can jam out to live music throughout the day from both the Music and Beer Tents with performances from local favorites and witness the crowning of Miss Garlic 2019. Surely, there’s never a dull moment at this sweet, stinky fest.
 
Funds from the Cleveland Garlic Festival allow the North Union Farmer’s Market to operate weekly markets, as well as educational and charitable programs, that bring fresh, local, healthy food to more than 275,000 customers every year.
