The Connecticut Garlic & Harvest Festival is a popular annual fall event held each October at the Bethlehem Fairgrounds. For over two decades, garlic lovers and families have enjoyed cooking demonstrations, garlic-growing talks, and live music. Visitors can browse specialty vendors with dips, oils, cheeses, spreads, and fresh produce, many offering free samples. The food court serves creative garlic-infused dishes like pizza, sliders, sausage with peppers, deep-fried garlic, and even garlic ice cream. Rides, games, and kids’ activities add to the fun, and the festival is designed to be accessible and welcoming to all.
