Since it’s inception in 2007, the Stratford Garlic Festival has grown to become a gardener, health advocate and food-lovers treat.
From Sept. 9 to 10, the event will include cooking demonstrations, vendors, entertainment and plenty of taste-testing opportunities.
Celebrity chefs and authors, including Elizabeth Baird and Rose Murray will be on hand to answer questions and explain their use of garlic in a host of recipes.
The Glorious Garlic Dining Experience happens on Saturday night. Held at the Rotary Complex, it includes a formal garlic-themed dinner menu by Chef Ian MacArthur, followed by a dance and silent auction.
The festival takes place at the Old Stratford Fairgrounds, at 20 Glastonbury Drive, in Stratford. The event is open from 9am to 4pm on Sept. 8, and 10am to 4pm on Sept.9
Admission is $5 per day, with children under the age of five admitted free.
