Adirondack Garlic Festival

ADIRONDACK GARLIC FESTIVAL
The first annual Adirondack Garlic Festival is right around the corner! Join us on Sunday, September 20, 2026, 12-6pm at Kate Mt Park in Vermontville, NY for a full afternoon of live music, activities for all ages, farmers and craft vendors, food and drink.
I’m really happy with the way things are coming together,” says festival organizer Ellen Beberman. “The musical lineup of Jeezum Crowe, Slough Creek and Zip City Blues is going to keep things moving throughout the afternoon. Meanwhile, we’ll have workshops on all things garlic: growing it, cooking it, making it into decorative braids, or even using it in paper. And of course, there will be plenty of snacks and fresh items to purchase at the farmers market, original crafts, and even a beer garden offered by Hex and Hop Brewery.”
Admission to the festival is free. The event is an all-volunteer project of the Tri-Lakes Regional Farmers, a group sharing knowledge, time, and marketing to support farming in our area. Franklin Supervisor Brown says, “Kate Mt Park is a perfect location for family events like this. The Town of Franklin is proud to host the festival in what we hope will become a fall tradition.”
Donations to support the festival or to become a business sponsor are warmly encouraged. Adirondack North Country Association is accepting tax-deductible donations at adirondackgarlicfest.com/donate, or by check to Adirondack North Country Association, 67 Main Street, Suite 201, Saranac Lake, NY 12983, with the notation “garlic festival.”
