Denville Garlic Fest Returns for a Second Year With Bigger Flavor and Fun on August 23
Garlic lovers, mark your calendars! The second annual Denville Garlic Fest is back on Saturday, August 23, 2025, from 12 PM to 7 PM at Todd Johnson Field in Denville, New Jersey. This delicious summer tradition is ready to bring the community together for a day filled with mouthwatering food, family-friendly entertainment, and plenty of garlicky goodness.
Whether you’re obsessed with the “stinking rose” or just curious to see how versatile it can be, Denville Garlic Fest will have something to tempt your taste buds. Local restaurants and food trucks will be serving up garlic-inspired treats, while specialty farms and gourmet vendors offer unique products to take home. Visitors can also browse booths filled with handmade crafts, art, and other one-of-a-kind finds.
Beyond the food, there’s a full day of fun planned. A DJ will be spinning upbeat tunes to set the vibe, and families can enjoy a bubble show, giant lawn games, and a photo-worthy garlic-themed setup. Kids will love the free bouncy house and mini-putt-putt, and there will be plenty of interactive activities to keep everyone smiling.
At the gate, general admission is $5 with a donation of toothpaste, toothbrushes, or mouthwash, or $9–$10 without. Tickets are also available in advance for a discounted price. Children under 5 get in free. All dental supply donations will benefit the Denville Food Pantry and other local pantries, making this event a great way to give back while having a good time.
Created by Two Girls Media, Denville Garlic Fest is all about bringing people together to enjoy great food, support local businesses, and have fun in the summer sun.
So grab your friends and family, head to Todd Johnson Field, and get ready for an afternoon of flavor, fun, and community spirit. After all, there’s no such thing as too much garlic!
