Garlic lovers, get ready, because a huge festival dedicated to the stinky-but-tasty plant is coming back to the city this weekend.
Brought to you by Dupont by the Castle BIA, the Toronto Garlic Festival will take place on Sunday, September 29 2024 on Spadina Road between Davenport Road and Macpherson Avenue.
Celebrating the province’s annual garlic harvest, the event will feature Ontario farmers selling heirloom garlic, as well as local chefs preparing delectable dishes made with garlic.
You can sample everything from fries with garlic aioli, to creative garlic ice cream concoctions and even garlic-infused cocktails.
In addition to all the bites and drinks you’ll get to taste, there will also be live music, entertainment, presentations and educational talks, and even a hilarious garlic breath contest, where participants will have their garlic breath measured in parts-per-billion.
For those who love to cook, it’s also the perfect opportunity to stock up on fresh garlic for the winter.
The festival is completely free to attend, so don’t miss out! Just be wary about planning a hot date that evening.
When: Sunday, September 29 2024
10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
