Garlic chocolate chip cookies? Bacon garlic Crab Rangoon? Garlic ice cream?
These foods might only be for garlic lovers but anyone can try them at the North Quabbin Garlic and Arts Festival in Orange on Sept. 28-29.
There will be over 100 booths, garlic games, including a raw garlic-eating contest, and free art-making tent. The festival is also mostly trash free, creating only three tags for about 8,000 people. Most of the “trash” is recycled or put into composts. Free water is also provided.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students and seniors and free for children under the age of 12.
Each food vendor uses at least one locally grown product and, of course, garlic.
