Beer Garden & Cocktail Bars

Welcome the morning with a Garlic Bloody Mary or stay in the stinkin’ summer mood with a Vermont IPA. Enjoy draft or bottled beer selections, wine, non alcoholic mocktails, or handcrafted cocktails featuring the spirits made right here in the Green Mountains.

Sit back and enjoy live music near the food court and dining area, or sip while you shop through 100+ garlic-centric vendors at the festival! 

Remember to tip the stinkin’ awesome team of bartenders, and enjoy the last bits of summer while it lasts! After the festival winds down at 5pm, your fun doesn’t have to end – go check out one of our fantastic pubs in downtown Bennington.

All must be 21+ for any alcohol purchases or tastings and must show valid ID. No alcohol allowed outside of the festival gates, this will be monitored at all times. Drink and stink responsibly.
