The third annual Garlic Fan Fest is returning to Denville on Saturday, June 13, 2026, from 2 to 8 PM at Todd Johnson Field, 34 Savage Road. Hosted by Two Girls Media, the festival is expected to draw more than 3,500 attendees for an outdoor day built entirely around garlic.
This year’s lineup includes food vendors serving garlic-inspired dishes, tastings, photo ops, giveaways, and live demos. Two new additions debut in 2026: a Fan Favorite Garlic Dish Competition and on-site cooking demonstrations.
Food, retail, professional, and nonprofit vendor spots are still being accepted on a first come, first served basis. Every vendor, including non-food participants, is required to incorporate a garlic theme into their booth setup. The deadline for health and fire applications is May 1, 2026.
Vendors can apply through the Garlic Fan Fest inquiry form, and full event details are available on the Two Girls Media event page. The fest is run by Denville-based Two Girls Media (PO Box 64, Denville, NJ 07834), the team also behind the Denville Food Truck Festival and the New Jersey Feast of San Gennaro.
Todd Johnson Field has hosted the festival since its launch and offers an open grassy setup with plenty of space for family activities throughout the afternoon and into the evening.
