The Koonya Garlic Festival is Australia’s longest-running garlic festival, and it has become one of Tasmania’s most widely anticipated annual harvest festival events, attracting throngs of passionate gardeners, garlic growers and foodies from throughout the state each year.
The festival is held in the picturesque valley of Koonya on the beautiful Tasman Peninsula just over an hour southeast of Hobart. At the heart of the festival is the Koonya Garlic Festival Garlic Grower’s Competition open to both amateur and professional growers of all ages. Some of the most popular elements of the festival are the free cooking masterclasses, expert talks and Gardening Q&A featuring some of Tasmania’s top chefs, cooks and gardening experts.
Garlic growers are abundant in Tasmania, from small domestic plots to commercial operations, this one-day unique event is a great opportunity for them to meet, share knowledge, eat delicious garlic inspired dishes and be entertained. This gathering of garlic lovers offers a positive, fun and slightly quirky reason to acknowledge common interests and activities through a unique local festival that will attract people interested in garlic from afar.
We have organised a Bus service for the festival for those who wish to enjoy the Festival and not worry about driving. We have released the 1st run bus service and will add further runs if and when required. If you have any queries regarding the bus service please visit our website www.koonyagarlicfestival.org or call Julie on 0401 119 295.
