Gilroy, CA, April 28, 2021 - Enjoy Your Favorite Bites From Gourmet Alley. Savor A Farm-to-Table Dinner at Fortino’s Winery. Golf for a Cause.
The Gilroy Garlic Festival Association announces the details for its 2021 legacy events. There will be a variety of events (socially distanced, virtual, and more) that showcase the distinctive food from Gourmet Alley at a series of drive-thru events at Gilroy Presbyterian Church, a Farm-to-Table dinner at Fortino’s Winery, and a Golf Tournament at Gilroy Golf Course.
“We have all been confronted with so many changes due to COVID-19. There is a great community desire to see the Festival come back. Together, we can work to reimagine a Gilroy Garlic Festival that will promote and honor everything that makes Gilroy truly the Garlic Capital of the World,”
said Tom Cline, current President of the Association.
“The Gilroy Garlic Festival seeks to be more than one signature event. We will continue to work to connect our community with various smaller events, educational activities, and giving opportunities throughout the year. Our historic mission to strengthen the bonds within our community is an ongoing commitment.”
This year’s Festival will include:
1. Enjoy Your Favorite Bites at a Reimagined Gourmet Alley
