Delray Beach Garlic Fest -- Feb. 8, 9, 10

The Delray Beach Garlic Fest is dedicated to exploring the numerous health and culinary possibilities of garlic. Countless recipes and unique dishes have been created by professional chefs in the Garlic Chef cooking competition and by the Gourmet Alley concessionaires including Garlic Ice Cream, Argentinian Garlic BBQ and Garlic Fest crab cakes. The Garlic Fest has been featured on the Food Network and in countless national newspapers and magazines. Now in its fourteenth year, the Delray Beach Garlic has become an institution in Palm Beach County and is affectionately named "The Best Stinkin' Party in Town."

The Garlic Fest was founded by a group of local folks looking to establish a fund-raising source for local non-profit organizations serving education and the arts for youth. The event relies on volunteer organizations to staff the event. That non-profit organization, appropriately named Delray Beach Arts, Inc., has donated over $390,000 and proudly continues to grow its charitable donations each year.
