Why Sponsor
For the past twelve years, this festival has captured national and local media coverage including Food & Wine Magazine, SAVEUR Magazine, Southwest Airlines Spirit Magazine, Plain Dealer, Midwest Living, Cleveland Scene, WCPN’s “Around Noon,” WKSU, Fox 8’s “Kickin’ it with Kenny,” WKYC’s “Good Company Today” and Fox 8’s “New Day Cleveland.”
Among food festivals nationwide, Cleveland Garlic Festival is among the fastest growing festivals of its type. The “original” garlic festival is in Gilroy, California, which draws more than 100,000 people during a three day event. Closer to home, the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival in Saugerties, New York, draws between 40,000 – 50,000 people over two days.
North Union Farmers Market incubates over 300 small businesses and survives by modest stall fees, grants and annual giving as our main sources of revenue. This festival aims to raise funds to continue our mission of promoting the environmental, economic and health benefits of the abundant local foods of Northeast Ohio.
Cleveland Garlic Festival 2023 promises to be even bigger. It will feature two full days of live music, celebrity chef grill-off, local brew competition, cooking and growing demonstrations, wine tastings and a host of fun and educational activities for children.
Cleveland Garlic Festival was born in 2010 and has matured to a tasty success story. Local farmers, vendors and visitors fill the streets of Shaker Square to honor the humble garlic – one of Ohio’s finest crops and cherished around the world for its pungent flavor.
The Festival is our annual fundraiser for North Union Farmers Market. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operating certified, producer-only farmers markets in the Greater Cleveland area.
