Applications for a stall at the 2025 Koonya Garlic Festival are now open
The Koonya Garlic Festival is a uniquely original Tasman food experience that celebrates the joy of garlic, the food it flavours and the music and art that it inspires. Due to the constraints of the festival site, stall numbers are limited. Preference will be given to stalls selling quality garlic, garlic-inspired products, gourmet garlic-inspired food and quality beverages. If you share our love for garlic and would like to be part of this fantastic community event, then we want to hear from you!
Deadline for applications: 30th November 2024
Following the closure of stallholder applications, a selection process will take place. Please make sure you include a detailed description of your offering, particularly where there are any garlic elements in your dishes or produce, to give yourself the best possible chance of selection. Stallholders will be notified via email any time from closure of applications until 31st December 2024. A wait list will be created in the event of a last minute cancellation - although this cannot be guaranteed, it is worth registering. Payments for stall fees must be made by 31st December 2024 to secure your site.
