THE South Gippsland Garlic Festival has forged a partnership with the Korumburra and District Agricultural Society to stage the 2025 Garlic Festival.
The South Gippsland Garlic Festival Committee (SGGFC) chose Korumburra as the host township for the highly anticipated return of the Garlic Festival in 2025.
SGGFC President, Joel White, said the decision came after much deliberation and consideration,
“Korumburra was chosen for its community spirit, vibrant business community and convenient location being just 90 minutes from Melbourne,” he said.
Another facto was the submission and enthusiasm from the Korumburra A&P society.
“The facilities at the Korumburra show grounds will provide the foundations for a great regional festival,” he said.
The festival, renowned for celebrating all things garlic and promoting local agriculture and the South Gippsland region, brings together garlic enthusiasts, food lovers, and families to savour delicious food, live music, cooking demonstrations, the renowned Garlic University and much more.
The SGGFC will host its AGM in early September where it will call for volunteers to form an extended committee to execute the event. And in the lead-up to the event in March, there will be a call out for local volunteers to ensure the success of the event.
“Join us as we celebrate community, creativity, and all things garlic!” Mr White said.
The Korumburra A&P Society President, Danial Robbins, said: “Korumburra A&P Society fully support the decision by SGGF to utilise the Korumburra showgrounds as the new venue for the garlic festival as we see it as a great initiative and event bringing tourism and vibrancy to Korumburra.”
