South Florida Garlic Fest

The Best Stinkin’ Party in Town

This is one party where it doesn’t matter if your breath smells like garlic. For lovers of this tasty and strong scented vegetable, it’s your moment to bask in garlic glory. Take a walk down Gourmet Alley for garlic-laced goodies, from burgers to shrimp scampi to everyone’s true fave, garlic ice cream (give a try, really). There is more than 100 menu items to get your garlic on - and don’t worry Garlic Fest has full beer, wines, and liquor bars to change up your palate. Besides alcoholic beverages, the Fest offers a variety of soft drinks for all guests.

More Stinkin' Fun

When you need a break from Gourmet Alley, Garlic Fest has nearly 200 exhibitors selling art, products, and homemade goods. You can also enjoy free kids' zone activities, and sing-along with rock and alternative classics. 

Love Stinks

No plans for Valentine's Day? At Garlic Fest, you can sign up to the "Love Stinks Singles Meet Up" tent and enjoy the covered bar, seating, private bartender and various Ice Breaker Games!

One night in July during the pandemic we saw a Match.com commercial on TV. Funny enough the lead singer from Red NOT Chili Peppers that were at the South Florida Garlic Fest in 2021 is a featured singer in the video (David Vives – the blonde).  The group will be at the Garlic Fest again this year! There will be an online contest where organizers select finalists to get free admission, give them front row seating to the concerts, access to the Love Stinks tent where they will have a private bartender, seating area, misc. games and ICE BREAKER QUESTIONS to have fun with.

90s Theme

This year The Red NOT Chili Peppers and BETTER THAN EZRA will perform hits from the 90’s.  Get creative – dress to theme and join the fun.
