Festival-goers on their way to the Gilroy Garlic Festival in northern California swear they can smell the garlic growing in the fields as they approach the town. This annual festival boasts dramatic cooking demonstrations (with flames from the grill pans shooting twenty feet in the air), several bands, dancing, and, for refreshments: garlic ice cream.
