After more than 40 years, the Gilroy Garlic Festival Association said financial challenges are forcing organizers to reimagine the time-honored tradition for 2022 and the foreseeable future.
"The events that people have been used to for these 42-43 years, that model is no longer going to be used for the festival," the association's past president and current board member, Tom Cline said."It's going to be a smaller, intimate model.", we were able to make some money," Cline added."But that was strictly just to help the association get well financially.
"These are all fundraisers that all of these organizations can no longer count on to the same degree. And it's been a hard hit for everybody," Blankley told ABC7 News."We have to require insurance for private events. And in the end, no matter how people think of the Garlic Festival, it is a private event," she said."It's run by a separate board and they make all the decisions.
However, after witnessing the deadly shooting in 2019, she told ABC7 News,"I don't think I could go back. I can't even go near the park now as it is."
