Festival Management Group
The "Best Stinkin’ Party in South Florida" moved and expanded the event last year to a larger venue at John Prince Park located in the funkiest little city in South Florida, Lake Worth. The response from our garlic fans was overwhelmingly positive! More room in a beautiful park setting, easy access from I95 and a relaxing 48-acre campground complete with all the amenities. Our Internationally Award Winning Event continues the tradition of being “The” signature food and entertainment event in South Florida.
This popular food and entertainment event features national act entertainment, Gourmet Alley food area with over 100 garlic laced menu items, a large children’s amusement area with rides, over 200 artist and craft vendors, Garlic Chef cooking competition, the Cloves & Vines Wine Garden and full liquor bars. Founded by a group of local folks looking to establish a fund-raising source for local non-profit organizations, the event relies on volunteer organizations to staff the event. That non-profit organization has reached a milestone this year donating over $610,000 and proudly continues to grow its charitable donations each year.
