Garlic Festival Special to Out & About
2011 Gilroy I
n 1979 when Don Christopher and his friends Dr. Rudy Melone and Val Filice introduced the idea for a local cele- bration of the garlic harvest that would benefit the
region’s non-profit organizations, it’s hard to imagine that the trio anticipated the magnitude of their efforts. The Gilroy Garlic Festival(
www.gilroygarlicfestival.com) presented by Raley’s, Bel Air Markets and Nob Hill Foods, will celebrate its 33rd anniversary July 29-31 at Christmas Hill Park, recognized internationally as “America’s premier summertime food festival.” And the innovative Volunteer Equity Program has allowed over 4,000 volunteers annually to raise $9 million for local charities.
The 2012 Festival will again feature popular cooking compe- titions – Saturday’s Great Garlic Cook-Off presented by Scope and Sunday’s Garlic Showdown – arts & crafts ven- dors, an award-winning chil- dren’s area, 44 live concerts from three stages and the extraordinary garlic-enhanced cuisine prepared by the pyro chefs on Gourmet Alley and other food booths throughout the park.
Festival entertainment will again feature nationally promi- nent celebrities. Bravo TV’s Top Chef season seven favorite Angelo Sosa will appear in the Cook-Off Theater and headlining the musical bill will be country music sensation Kip Moore, who’s single “Mary Was The Marrying Kind” is currently climbing the charts. The 2011 Gilroy Garlic Festival will run from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. July 29-31.
