Annual WNC Garlic Fest

The 6th Annual WNC Garlic Fest is returning to Asheville NC. A family focused free festivity of all things garlic.

Our extremely popular WNC Garlic Trail allows you to follow a trail map around the event, collecting delicious and whacky garlic samples from local vendors. Our garlic education series will help you grow and cook garlic, and Sow True Seed plus local farmers are on hand to with seed garlic to grow in your own gardens.

We have a food truck and drinks area with kids activities and invite you to join the fun with friends and family because no one wants to be the only one to eat garlic all day!

The Garlic Trail: Select participating vendors will be listed on a postcard available from Sow True Seed. Follow the WNC Garlic Trail, find the vendors and show them your postcard for a FREE garlicky experience. Collect all the experiences and return to Sow True Seed for a small Garlic-Guru prize.

WNC Garlic Fest was founded by Sow True Seed with the aim of bringing the awesome world of garlic to the awesome people of Western Northern Carolina. Join us for the 6th WNC Garlic Fest for a FREE celebration of all things garlic! This year Sow True Seed’s non-profit arm, The Utopian Seed Project is organizing the event to raise funds for their ongoing work to support diversity in food and farming across the southeast.
