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 ‘garlic heads’ 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 $500,000.00 to date) of the festival to worthwhile community initiatives supported by the Lions Club of Perth.

Every dollar from this event goes to your community to worthwhile projects supported by the Lions Club of Perth.
