Road Trip: The ‘Maine Garlic Fest’ Is This Weekend

Get ready for a two-day festival this Saturday and Sunday, for two days to honor one of the world's tasty treats.

There is something about garlic that just makes everything taste so much better, and with that in mind, we want you to know that the annual Maine
Garlic Fest is back this weekend.

Celebrate this crop that can be grown here in Maine, by venturing over to Lake George Regional Park at the West Side Picnic area and island, in Canaan.

The event kicks off at 9:30 am both days. Admission is $5 for adults and kids 12 and under get in for free.

The festival isn't just about garlic, but is a good excuse to get people together and have a fun weekend. Vendors, delicious food & beverages, and two days of live music!

There will be plenty of fun activities on both days,
