The idea of staging a garlic festival germinated from a small group of individuals in 1997 and has quickly become one of eastern Ontario\u2019s most anticipated annual community festivals.<\/p>\n

Held the second weekend in August, the Perth Garlic Festival is a celebration to the \u2018stinking rose\u2019. The warm August air of Ontario\u2019s prettiest town is scented with the pungent aroma of garlic while thousands of \u2018garlic heads\u2019 revel in the many attributes of this wonderful herb.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the festival is to promote Ontario grown garlic, share ideas on how to grow, harvest, market, cook and enjoy garlic, to bring together \u2018garlic heads\u2019 and producers on an annual basis, to provide a forum for the consumer to purchase Ontario grown garlic, to assist in the ongoing tourism development of the Perth community and to distribute the proceeds (almost $100,000.00 to date) of the festival to worthwhile community initiatives supported by the Lions Club of Perth.<\/p>\n
