We had another Garlic Festival in Gilroy last week-end. It’s always on the last week-end of July, Friday through Sunday.
Everything was great about the festival for us. Team Patereau works all three days. I work at the Gourmet Alley Beer Booth, selling beer tickers. Rick works at the Gilroy Rotary Wine Pavillion, a shift each day. One of us takes home dinner.
The festival showcases Gilroy and the wonderful, friendly and giving people who live here. So many volunteers, so much goodwill in the wind.
My favorites this year were:
- The weather! It was not too hot, and when it did get hot there was an occasional breeze to move the air around.
- The people. Everyone I met and saw was pleasant and having fun.
- The Kids Area, who, by the way, sponsored the “Kidsapalooza Talent Competition” for the first time, and which was won by Team Patereau’s granddaughter, Madigan!!!
If the Garlic Festival hasn’t been your thing in the past, I highly recommend you try it. It’s just the best festival ever!
