New Educational Tent

New to this year’s event, we have dedicated an area of the festival to educational demonstrations and lectures and are very excited to announce the addition of Chef Alice to our educational line-up.  Hailing from Long Pond, Pennsylvania, Chef Alice will be serving up cooking demonstrations for both adults and children all weekend long.

The festival will be held rain or shine.  Advanced Festival Admission Tickets, Adults $7.50 and Children ages 5 – 12, $6; age 4 and under FREE, are now on sale.  Plenty of FREE onsite parking is provided.  For more Pocono Garlic Festival information, including vendors and entertainment listings and online ticket sales, visit www.shawneemt.com.
