For over 25 years, Gilroy, the Garlic Capital of The World, has hosted the annual celebration of all things stinky: from shrimp to mushrooms to ice cream, the festival proves that if you can eat it, it probably tastes better with garlic.

According to the website, the Festival will dish out 21,920 servings of garlic bread, 4,807 servings of scampi, 8,396 stuffed mushrooms, make 12,286 combo plates, and quench visitors’ thirst with 15,088 sodas poured.

With bands, celebrity cook-offs, and arts & crafts, there’s plenty to do while waiting for the pepcid to kick in.

The Festival runs Friday through Sunday from 10am to 7pm (gates close at 6pm). Admission is $12 ($6 for seniors and kids age 6-12). Coupons available at Pepsi retailers. Click here for directions.
