Garlic Festival In Litchfield Hills - A tasty way to spend a fall day!

Are you looking for a tasty way to spend a fall day in Litchfield Hills Connecticut?  If you are a garlic lover then you are in luck on October 12-13 when the Garlic and Harvest Festival takes place at the Bethlehem Fairgrounds (304 Main St. N. Bethlehem) from 9 am - 6 pm each day. The admission is $9 for adults, $8 for seniors and $1 for children under 12.



At this tasty fair, you will discover everything imaginable made with or from garlic. Nibble your way through a vendor area with free samples where you will find a wonderful assortment of dips, sauces, spreads, cheeses, oils, and much more.  A highlight of this event are the cooking demonstrations that take place throughout the day.  After watching the cooking demos you might want to head to the food court where vendors sell an amazing assortment of goodies from garlic ice cream, scrumptious garlic lobster rolls, garlic butter grilled cheese and hot pretzels with garlic mustard to name a few of the culinary delights served up. 


There are plenty of activities for children as well.  The midway offers rides, including a giant ferris wheel with a birds eye view of activities, plus arts and crafts as well as a pumpkin carving contest, a sand art area, and face painting.  


A special treat for garden lovers are the garlic lectures on the history, anatomy, cultivation and medicinal value of garlic. The presentation on how to raise garlic from Professor Dorthea Di Cecco and garlic farmers Richard and Penny Sandora will answer any questions that you have about how to raise this pungent herb.
