The Ultimate Farm Market Experience
It’s back!
Join us for the 16th annual Garlic Festival at Abbey Gardens! Featuring garlic growers, live music, special deals, and so much more, the Garlic Festival has something for everyone.

Hit the Haliburton Highlands Brewing patio for some live music throughout the afternoon, and stop by Into The Blue for some wood fired pizza for lunch!

Garlic Growers Association
The Haliburton County Garlic Growers Association started the Garlic Festival to encourage, support, and inspire garlic growers, both new and old. Over the years, the Association partnered with Abbey Gardens to grow the Festival into a community celebration of local agricultural. With a mission founded on supporting local growers and local food, Abbey Gardens is proud to continue the tradition as we grow the Garlic Festival into the future.

At our last Festival we welcomed over 1500 attendees to Abbey Gardens! To make sure we have enough volunteers available to make your attendee experience as easy as possible, please pre-register to let us know you’re attending the Festival!
