New England summer food festivals
Garlic and Herb Festival
"Vermont stinks" is the slogan for this festival, now 16 years running, but that's to be taken as a compliment. The annual event in Bennington will feature countless opportunities for garlic and herb lovers to sample specialty foods made with the ingredients including garlic bread, garlic jelly, and garlic ice cream. You can even sample a garlic margarita. Really. Sept. 1-2, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., $5 per day, two-day passes $8, www.lovegarlic.com
