Garlic + Arts Festival

Kindness, community and inspiration are always in style at this popular destination that attracts lovers of art and alliums from throughout New England. Meander among 100 bountiful booths featuring regional artists, farmers, community organizations and garlic cuisine; strengthen community and economy by purchasing locally crafted and grown. Celebrate and relax with great bands, spoken word, and performance on three stages- including a solar-powered music stage – and throughout the rolling fields and forest. Be inspired by exhibitor demos and ample activities for kids and families. Get silly with garlic games galore including the famous raw garlic-eating contest. Soothe the soul with healing arts exhibitors. Travel the garlic globe with celebrated chef demos, and fill your belly with farm fresh and savory cuisine as you relax in the food courts. There are over eighty engaging workshops, activities and performances scheduled throughout the weekend!

Orange is the New Green: trash free (well, only two bags for 10,000 people) with everything else recycled or transformed into fertile compost to make gardens, not garbage. And, thanks to the Rich Earth Institute, urine collected from the potties at the 2017 festival has been pasteurized and applied to the field where the event is held.

Festival proceeds keep the event sustainable and affordable, and support the festival’s community grant program for local art, agriculture, health and energy projects.  The Festival is consistently awarded one of the top three best festivals out of hundreds across the region by the Valley Advocate reader’s poll. Join us for a weekend of fun, food, and fantastic community.

Unifier Festival

      We were born to live creatively.
      Let’s come together and dare to be inspiring.
      Let’s create culture together.

Through sharing wisdom, ideas, dancing, singing, painting, sharing story, poem and song, balancing our minds, our hearts and our bodies, and honoring nature, ourselves and one another, we come together without excuse to share our beauty.

Unifier Festival will bring together an amazing group of inspirational artists and educators. This is a sacred celebration of all that we are and all that we can be.

Honoring and bringing together different subcultures, this gathering is a sacred world music festival, a yoga festival, and a dance festival. It is a live art show, a place for ceremony, for Permaculture, for workshops on environmental, social and racial justice, for sculptural works and circus arts. It is a place to care for the land and to eat organic food, and to be inspired and inspire our kids and our elders.
