What a day! A HUGE thank you to the vendors, musicians, foodies, visitors, shoppers, and downtown merchants who supported this years Windsor Garlic Fest!
This festival is proudly owned and operated by the West Hants Regional Municipality, and our Community Development team once again gave it their all to bring this year’s festival to life.
And the festival has grown again! This year, we welcomed 130 vendors to downtown Windsor. We are honoured by the continued support for this festival and proud to provide an event that celebrates our farmers, producers, artists, makers, small businesses, and community.
Mother Nature smiled upon us, and from start to finish, downtown Windsor was filled with great food, music, laughter, shopping, and, of course, GARLIC!
There are so many people who helped make the day a success. A special thank you to:
🧄 Chef Paul Thimot

🧄 Musicians Zakary Miller and the Yodelayhee Few
