Get ready to follow your nose to the 2024 Saugerties Garlic Festival, where the “Stinking Rose” takes center stage. Celebrating over 30 years of garlic-inspired fun, this festival is a must for anyone who loves garlic – which, let’s face it, is most of us. From garlicky food and drink to craft vendors and farming lectures, there’s something for everyone. Families will enjoy live music, puppet shows, and kids’ activities like pumpkin decorating and face painting. Known for its zero-waste initiative, the festival encourages attendees to be mindful of their trash while enjoying a fragrant, flavorful day out. This is one of Ulster County’s most popular tourist events, so expect a crowd!
