On Saturday, Feb. 12 and Sunday, Feb. 13, the 23rd annual South Florida Garlic Fest was held at Wellington’s Village Park. The event first started in Delray Beach 23 years ago before eventually moving to Wellington. This year, Garlic Fest featured music from headliners such as the Red Not Chili Peppers and Better Than Ezra. Other musicians, such as Bradley Brown, joined in to get the party started. The event included a kid zone with bounce houses, plenty of vendors, and, of course, rows of stands selling garlic-themed foods, including garlic pizza, chicken, burgers and other delicious treats.
