A STINKING SUCCESS!
Thank you to everyone who came out to The 2025 Stinking Rose Garlic™ Festival!
The weather was awesome, the atmosphere was awesome, the music, the entertainment, the vendors, the GARLIC, all just came together so well for a fabulous final summer weekend at Fantasy Farms, Chilliwack!
While we sort out the photos to share – stay tuned, we wanted to send out some love.
To our featured partner, Chilliwack Community Services (Hi Kate & team!) and all the volunteers who helped facilitate parking and the entry gate. Thank you so much, we could not do this without you.
To our media sponsors, Chilliwack Progress (Hi Tara, Jessica & Jenna!), 89.5 JR Country (Hi Sara!) to Chilltv (Hi Kelli!) and to Romp CHWK (Hi Heidi) THANK YOU for getting the Stinking word out!
To our oh-so-special vendors, the “garlic guts” of the festival, THANK YOU!
To our Saturday Night Concert Stage Entertainment, ably facilitated by Odd Owl Sound (Hi Andre!), Joe Matheson, The Unbranded, The Maybelles, Northern Darkhorse…you were all SO STINKING GOOD!
To our Centre Stage entertainers, who provided information and entertainment all weekend, Hannu the Chainsaw Carver, Jenna The Garlic Guru, Laur the Herbalist, and our buskers, Pretty Good Together, Jordain Culpepper, Magnus Warren, Mervis Blue (and Craigy Too!), Edward Francis, Farmer Gary and the garlic peeling/eating contests (that got a little crazy – some stinking blood was split! Thank you to our vendors for donations to the prize basket and Hannu for your art!). STINKING FABULOUS!
To our beer garden staff (Hi Naomi & Isabel!), and the Fantasy Farms staff…thank you so much!
To the Stinking Rose 2025 team…it’s such a great pleasure to work with you all…Gary, Lisa, James, Alycia, Joe, Naomi, Berris, THANK YOU!
