Food

Glorious garlic cuisine in three food courts delights the senses and celebrates the bounty of the harvest. Festival food vendors  are committed to culinary creativity and local agriculture, and include community organizations that raise funds through this event. All food vendors use biodegradable utensils and plates which are composted after the festival at Orange’s local Clearview Compost, generating fertile soil rather than filling landfills. Attend a workshop at the handcrafted bread oven in the food court, that produces baked goods for festival volunteers.  Enjoy a savory lunch from one of a dozen food vendors while relaxing under a canopy with friends old or new. Come hungry and enjoy the feast!
