The Gilroy Garlic Festival will return in 2025 after a five-year absence, though on a smaller scale at Gilroy Gardens. Scheduled for July 25-27 with a limit of 3,000 pre-sold tickets per day, visitors can still enjoy signature garlic dishes, live entertainment, and arts and crafts. This marks the first festival since 2019, when a tragic shooting killed three people and wounded 17 others.
