Delray Beach Garlic Fest Brings the Funk, the Flavor and the Spin Doctors Back Downtown.

The smell is unmistakable and the tradition is back. The Delray Beach Garlic Fest returns for its 27th year on February 28 and March 1, ready to flood downtown Delray Beach with bold food, live music, and enough garlic to make vampires think twice.

Leading the charge this year is Spin Doctors, who will take the main stage Saturday, February 28 at 9:00 p.m. Expect a crowd-singing, head-nodding set packed with hits like Two Princes and Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong, because nothing pairs with garlic quite like a little alternative rock nostalgia.

Proudly Stinkin’ Since 1999, the Garlic Fest leans fully into this year’s theme “Back to Our Roots”, celebrating the flavors and community spirit that turned a local festival into a South Florida institution. If it smells incredible, tastes outrageous, and leaves you smiling afterward, you are probably doing it right.

Event Details

• Saturday, February 28: 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.

  • Spin Doctors live on stage at 9:00 p.m.

Beyond the food and music, guests can explore local vendors, enjoy interactive experiences, and take part in the festival’s ongoing sustainability efforts through the Recycle Right at Garlic Fest program. Saving the planet may not remove garlic breath, but it still feels good.

Now 27 years deep into the garlic game, the Delray Beach Garlic Fest continues to prove that strong flavors, great music, and a sense of humor never go out of style.
