GARLIC!

Rooted in the traditions of a true New England farmers’ market, Garlic Town USA is more than a festival, it’s a direct connection between growers and the community. Many of the garlic farmers who attend spend the entire season cultivating their crops specifically for this event, bringing their freshest, most flavorful harvests to Bennington at peak season. The festival’s carefully curated vendor lineup ensures that every stand reflects a commitment to quality, whether it’s small-batch garlic varieties, handcrafted foods, or farm-grown ingredients from across the Northeast. With a strong “meet the farmer” culture and a taste-before-you-buy experience, Garlic Town maintains an authenticity that’s rare at large-scale events, where everything you discover has a story, and often, the person who grew it is right there to share it.
