Leave your breath mints at the door! The 12th annual Garlic and Harvest Festival is cooking up all of your favorite autumn traditions at the Bethlehem Fairgrounds on Oct. 8 and 9, 2016.

Stroll through the grounds and discover garlic-cooking demonstrations, learn how to grow the most delicious garlic at one of the many lectures, and taste some of the most unique garlicky creations, including the festival’s most famous delicacy, garlic ice cream.

When you aren’t munching at the food court, walk over to one of the many rides and games, browse the handmade crafts, or sit back and enjoy one of the live musical performances.

“It is always so much fun to see what they have cooking up!” said Diane Hammer, “even my husband has a great time!”
