The Gilroy Garlic Festival drew more than 12,000 people over three days at the Hecker Pass Outdoor Events Center. All three days sold out at 4,000 tickets each, up from a 3,000-a-day cap in 2025, as the festival pushes toward its 50th anniversary in 2028. Ticket proceeds benefit local schools, nonprofits and community organizations.
