20th Annual Elephant Garlic Festival
August 11, 2017 - August 13, 2017
“Still stinkee after all these years!”
Thousands of people will gather to experience two evenings, and three days of good music, food, entertainment, and fun at the annual North Plains Elephant Garlic Festival.
The North Plains Elephant Garlic Festival started out as a community event called North Plains Days back in 1994. It featured a parade, bed races and other simple pleasures like live music. Gradually vendors were added to sell food and crafts and the event was expanded to three days.
As the event grew in popularity, it was suggested by a local farmer that the festival adopt the elephant garlic theme. Thus in 1997 the North Plains Elephant Garlic was born. The purpose of the festival is to be an outstanding free local community event, with art and great music.
