The Gilroy Garlic Festival

Gilroy's Garlic Festival is only a few days away and anyone who has visited the festival knows that is can be quite an ordeal to get to the festival.  Entrance fees are low and parking is free.  The only problem one can encounter is the traffic jams on route 101 and in town.

Here are a few suggestions to make the trip to the Garlic Festival a bit more enjoyable:

• If you leave early you shouldn't have a problem; there are nice restaurants where you can have breakfast to kill some time or do some shopping.
  
• You can book a hotel room in town or stay at a local bed and breakfast
• If you are coming from San Jose there are some other ways to get into Gilroy.  Consider McKean Road to Uvas Road to Watsonville Road to Hecker Pass Road.  Hopefully, you won't have the big bumper to bumper traffic.

We are looking forward to the Gilroy Garlic Festival every single year.  People come from far away but we are lucky; we just walk across the street and we are there. The concerts, cook-off, and food is delicious and we always find some interesting crafts that we buy as gifts (Christmas shopping in July).  Hope to see you at the Garlic Festival.
