Since it’s inception in 1994, behind Saint Luke’s Church of Stroudsburg, the event grew like the bulbous culinary delight that it celebrated. Still hosted by the original four farmers who wanted to share their passion of the garlic harvest, the group has now paved a way for garlic enthusiasts of all kinds to indulge their garlic fantasies. Many imaginative culinary garlic dishes have been developed through the festival over the years that have became a favorite to returning festival goers, including garlic ice cream, garlic shaved ice, on site freshly prepared garlic whole roasted pig, garlic crepes, roasted garlic cheese pierogies, garlic pickles , garlic crab cakes and even garlic chocolate chip cookies.
Since we have never been to The Garlic Festival before do you have any tips or secret insider info for us?
