Garlic Ice Cream at the Garlic Festival
Alleyway won’t be at the Garlic Festival this year, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go.
Five Reasons to go:
1. Garlic Galore: As you stroll through the festival grounds, you'll find garlic varieties you never knew existed. Engage with passionate local farmers who are more than happy to share their garlic wisdom. Sample the spectrum, from sweet and mellow to bold and fiery.
2. Garlic Like Never Before: Think garlic fries, garlic knots, garlic-stuffed mushrooms, garlic smoothies, and even garlic ice cream.
(Not at Alleyway, though!)

4. Live Entertainment: Live music sets the perfect backdrop. Dance performances and children's activities ensure there's something for everyone to enjoy.
