7. Gilroy Garlic Festival • Gilroy, CA
There won’t be a vampire in sight at this festival. Garlic per se is not really strange food, but the free garlic ice cream is. There’s tons of deliciously garlicky food, a Miss Gilroy Garlic Competition, a recipe contest and cook-off and a Garlic Bowl.
Pro Tip: Breath mints recommended.
