Richmond Garlic Festival


Saturday, August 16th, 2025
10 am - 3 pm

Join us for a celebration of
sustainable agriculture and local garlic!

For over a decade the Richmond Garlic Fest has been supporting the Sharing Farm's work of cultivating nutritious, sustainably-grown produce for community members facing food insecurity.

 

The festival attracts approximately 5000 people from throughout the Lower Mainland. Highlights for festival goers include live birds-of-prey flying demonstrations, a celebrated children's area, a diverse farmer's market, food booths with garlic specials, and live entertainment.

The Richmond Garlic Fest is by donation, with a suggested minimum donation of $5 per person. All donations go directly to the Sharing Farm to support our work.
