The Gilroy Garlic Festival is making a comeback after a six-year hiatus caused by a tragic mass shooting in 2019. Scheduled for July 25-27 at Gilroy Gardens, the festival will limit attendance to 3,000 guests per day, prioritizing health and safety. Organizers express gratitude for the community's continued support, reflecting on the festival's transformation from a small gathering in 1978 to a major event that drew 100,000 attendees. Previous attempts to revive the festival faced challenges, including significant insurance cost increases following the shooting, but dedicated efforts have led to this anticipated return.
