I clearly need to get my food festival tourism game on. However, my district (Schöneberg) hosts a Kürbis and a Spargel festival every year, and they're both pretty great. The Kürbis one might be the surprise winner because there were more vegan pumpkins dishes. (Well, there were no vegan asparagus dishes that I've found either year I've been.) However, I did see the Spargelkönigin from the bigger regional festival last year, and I don't think they do a Kürbiskönig*in.

Spargelkönigin!!! Guess I know when I’m planning my next Berlin trip.

We went to one not too far outside DC! Kara & Kyle took us. But you should also do Ohio, for research.

I've been to the Garlic Festival in Gilroy, California. The garlic ice cream was . . . interesting.

I’m all for adventurous ice cream flavors but that sounds challenging. But I’d go to a garlic festival!
