August 10th is the day to enjoy and learn about all things garlic at the annual Minnesota Garlic Festival.  Games, music, and of course food can all be found at the Garlic Festival.

The annual event takes place in Hutchinson at the McLeod County Fairgrounds. It happens rain or shine, so be prepared to enjoy the day.  Each year it seems to grow and be bigger and better.

MN Garlic Festival is a ZERO WASTE event! They make a concerted effort to produce no trash – if you can’t take it home, it’s recycled, re-used or composted.

You can purchase tickets in advance on the website or when you arrive. Admission is $10 for everyone over the age of 12. Kids 12 and under are free.
