Cuba NY gets ready to celebrate all things garlic!

The 18th Annual Cuba Garlic Festival is this weekend, September 16-17

By Andrew Harris

One of the best endings of summer is the garlic harvest. For 18 years running, Cuba NY has celebrated this key allium, it’s flavor, and almost universal appeal.

The festival maybe centered around garlic but that is just really only part of the festival. The food selection and vendors are some of the finest in Western NY. Entertainment is alway nice, but this festival attracts top talent. Most important, this is a great event for families with plenty of kids activities and features.

Don’t forget the venue!! The historic property in Cuba is worth the visit to the festival alone.

Here is the full schedule of events for this weekend and our report from last years festival:

Stop into the Giant Food Mart in Cuba while you are in town and take advantage of the Customer Appreciation Sale through 9/16
