2026 Delray Beach Garlic Festival - 27th Annual

We’re excited to announce the return of South Florida’s most iconic and flavorful celebration—Delray Beach Garlic Fest—bringing the event back to its roots with the name that started it all. Nicknamed “The Best Stinkin’ Party in South Florida,” Garlic Fest is an internationally award-winning event that draws massive crowds each year for an unforgettable weekend of music, food, and community. Since its founding in 1998 by a group of locals committed to supporting nonprofit organizations, Garlic Fest has grown into a signature cultural event in Palm Beach County. At its heart, it’s a grassroots fundraiser powered by volunteers and designed to benefit educational and art-based programs throughout the region. To date, the festival has raised more than $704,500 and donated thousands of tons of food to nonprofits and community groups. Festivalgoers can expect a high-energy experience featuring major national music acts, full-service bars, and a vibrant Gourmet Alley featuring dozens of garlic-infused dishes. The grounds are filled with artists, crafters, and vendors offering original creations and handmade goods—all in a lively setting that celebrates South Florida’s spirit. Whether you’re a foodie, a music lover, or just looking for something unique to do, Delray Beach Garlic Fest is the ultimate destination for fun with purpose. Come for the garlic. Stay for the party.
