A FREE Richmond festival is letting garlic take centre stage
One of our favourite ingredients is being feted with a Metro Vancouver festival this summer, though you may want to bring some gum along
The 13th annual Richmond Garlic Festival takes place at The Sharing Farm on Sunday, August 20.
The celebration is hosted by the Sharing Farm Society and is a huge attraction for community members and others eager to check out all the garlic-centric festivities.
