Adirondack Garlic Festival

Written by Sunwarm Gardens on .

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.”

Thank you for a successful 2025 Adirondack Harvest Festival

By Isabella Susino | Adirondack Harvest Program Lead

The 2025 Adirondack Harvest Festival was a great success, bringing together farms, food producers, and community members from across the region. We are grateful to everyone who joined us to celebrate local agriculture and connect with the people who grow and make our food.

We saw over 3,000 visitors this year, getting back to beating the previous festival attendance records. The event was made incredible by the 80 vendors, local businesses and organizations, the 56 volunteers we had on-site, and 10 CCE staff members. We want to recognize Laurie Davis – who took over as the Adirondack Harvest Festival planning team and coordinated the 2025 event! Also, a big thank you to the rest of the CCE Essex Team for their many days of hard work and support.

From first years to many more

This year’s event was a few of our staff’s first Adirondack Harvest Festival. New additions that were made included unique workshops like “From Milling Grain To Cooking It,” to “Growing Wild Rice in Essex County,” new vendors and food trucks, and a hands-on tomato seed harvesting demonstration.

A new mural was also added, where attendees could write down where they came from for the festival. We had people from all over the U.S. and visitors from our Northern neighbor’s largest province, Quebec. Some of the farthest reaches were from Kauai, Hawaii; Irvine and Los Angeles, California; Seattle, Washington; Yarmouth, Maine; New Haven, Vermont; Hartford, Connecticut; Boston, Massachusetts; and even Cuba! 

Most of the hand-written hellos were from our beloved Adirondack Park, where people from rural and small towns came together in celebration of Adirondack agriculture: Schroon Lake, Lake Luzerne, Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, Johnsburg, Brown Tract Pond, Paul Smith’s, Elizabethtown, North Hudson, Ticonderoga, Minerva, and of course, Westport. Even some folks from around New York State were able to enjoy the festival: Troy, Albany, Ballston Spa, Glens Falls, Berlin, Schenectady, Lewiston, Rochester, NYC, Long Island (on bicycle!), and Buffalo.
