    This was our third Gigantic Garage Sale at the Palm Beach Fair Grounds…read more Lots of vendors selling everything, literally, from A to Z. Customers browsing and buying in a comfortable air conditioned setting. Shopping hours from 7 am to 2 pm. Lots of friendly people!

    We've taken a table at this indoor garage market at the expo center for several years. It's not…read morejust once a year (annual) anymore as this year alone there have been 3 sales, so far. Held in either the Expo West or Expo East -- or both as they connect --depending on how many folks sign up to exhibit/sell. Vendors tend to be a mix of antique dealers, homeowners, store/former store owners, and people who do the flea market circuit on a regular basis. There are all sorts of items sold here from furniture to clothes to housewares -- some new -- including crafts -- and a lot used or vintage. You never know what you'll find. This past weekend there were even folks selling Christmas ornaments, fine china dining sets, musical instruments, and large ceramic statues. Held on a Saturday, gates open to the early bird public buyers at 7 am for $7 and at 8 am for regular hours for $6 which means until 2 pm. Vendors must keep their booths open until 2 pm. Parking is ample and the Expo is easily accessed in the fairgrounds just off Southern Boulevard. If you like a bargain or just to browse, put on your comfortable shoes and spend a fun day. PS Bring cash as most vendors prefer to take this method of payment. There is an ATM machine on site by the concession stand. Food at the concession stand is a bit expensive. Some of the dedicated visitors come for a bit; Get a new ticket to reenter and go out for lunch and come back. There are restrooms near the concession stand, as well.

    I've been to garlic festivals in Gilroy CA, Saugerties NY, and Bennington VT many times. They…read moreusually have dozens of farmers with a wide variety of different garlic breeds, as well as a many vendors of sausages (italian, venison, beef), cheeses from dairy farms, shallots, peppers, pesto, on and on and on. That's not even talking about the foods that are available for dining on site. This festival had one garlic farmer with fresh garlic, one with farm made garlic powder/granules/chips and black garlic, and 'Garlic Festival Foods' factory made jarred marinated garlic. The parking was a nightmare. The premium parking was full and there was no one to help guide people to parking. There were warnings that if you park in the wrong lot you'll be towed, but no clear signage where one lot ends and the danger zone begins. We kept circling and circling, and were about to leave despite prepaying for tickets, until after about 20 minutes we eventually found someone to follow back to their car and get their space when they left. The vendors were all frustrated because the wifi and cellular connections were so bad that they couldn't do card processing and they couldn't find anyone in charge to talk to about it. Many of the vendors we talked to said they won't be coming back (especially the two that were actually selling garlic). The food wasn't very garlicky. Just standard fair with extra garlic powder. This was a nice community fair, and hopefully it will grow into a real garlic festival some day, but it was poorly run, and very disappointing.

    The Garlic festival 2021 was actually in Wellington. It was near the Wellington mall. They had a…read morereally nice bus/shuttle to take you closer to the event. The bus was nice. Temperature was taken before getting inside. The first thing you smell as you enter. Is the smell of food. It smells so good. The food vendors are right at the entrance. I tried the garlic ginger candid bacon. That was good, more like awesome. A must try in my opinion. Food prices are a little high. So many food options. So little time lol. They had a live band playing. I do really like the music they are playing. It was a mixture of different genres. They had the place in front of the band marked. It looked like a checker board, for social distancing. A great idea. I tried the garlic gelato. It tasted to me like vanilla ice cream with a little hint of vanilla. It was good. I had a good time. I came early so it wasn't very crowded. But it got crowded later on. They had many different venders and artist. The sculptures and art work where beautiful. I specially like the carvings. So many talented artist.

    SCAM ALERT - DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!…read more This company is an absolute joke and a complete scam. They lure people in with misleading event descriptions, take your money, and then refuse to offer refunds when their event turns out to be nothing like what was promised. I have contacted them multiple times about a refund, and they either ignore my emails or hide behind their ridiculous "no refund" policy. It's no surprise that they don't even have a proper review platform like Google Reviews--because they KNOW that if people could leave real, public feedback, their scam would be exposed for what it is. The only place you can find reviews is on their Facebook page, which is already filled with complaints from other people who got ripped off just like me. Clearly, I'm not the only one who sees through their shady business practices. The event was a disaster. It did not deliver on any of the promises they made in the event description. Instead of a well-organized experience, it was completely unprofessional and poorly run. They don't care about the people who attend--they only care about taking your money and running. I will be reporting them for fraud and warning as many people as possible to stay FAR away. If you're considering buying a ticket for any of their future events, DON'T DO IT. Save yourself the frustration and give your money to a company that actually values its customers. Absolute trash. Zero stars if I could.

    Worst festival I've ever been to. No balloons, no ballon rides. Just sitting in lawn chairs…read morelistening to a dJ. If the weather isn't good there are no balloons and no refunds. There were about 10mph winds and they said it had to be even less. Total waste of time and money. Whatever you do don't get fast pass or ViP tickets. Both worthless. VIP seating was no different from regular seating and you can upgrade to fast pass there if there are actually balloons up.

    I've loved coming here since I was a kid, and my visit this year did not disappoint with my own…read morekids. This was the first year they really wanted to ride the rides. The first time we showed up just when the fair opened on the weekend, and parking was ample, so we didn't upgrade. When we returned on a later day after school, we upgraded the parking so we could get in right away. Either way. I finally know my way around: we entered through YesterYear village. I prefer leaving this way as well, as there is some space for kids running around and some benches in the village to chill and sit, plus a bathroom to use, before leaving. And... they had these giant hot glazed donuts that might have made its way into my hands for the ride home! On our tamer first visit, we looked at all the animals, and pet all the animals - my favorite part! Parade: short, certainly not worth 'waiting' for. The ice show: interesting. it was free. I appreciate the attempt to make a pirate themed ice show but some of the costumes fell short. People were snickering around us, which didn't help. Thank you to the awesome ice skaters! A cool spot to 'rest' in an air-conditioned indoor space on a hot day. The magic show: well my kids loved this. Silly, but they loved it so much they wanted to see the exact same show on their return visit. Pirate acrobat show: my younger kid liked it a lot, my older son could barely tolerate, but for me it was a miss (the pirate theme, especially). Acrigulture mini-fun row: this was so fun for my kids. Saddling fake horses, scooping fake poop, milking a fake cow: they thought this was golden. Fair food: we ate these giant donuts that were super reasonably priced for the amount of donut and filling we received. Note to self: no one ever finishes anything: bring ziplock bags because they complained they wanted to 'eat it later.' I let my kids get cotton candy, and some other ice cream concoction another time. They mostly ate the same kid theme of chicken tenders, fries, burgers, pizza. I mostly ate their leftovers- because they were finished by the time I could think about finding my own food. And then I added on some arepas later- so overpriced but delicious in the moment. My kids loved the kids rides. We bought the fastpasses, which were unnecessary on the kids rides, but a lifesaver when they moved to the adult rides. It's so fun for them to be able to repeat their favorite rides over and over. I did just buy tickets the first time, but the unlimited wristbands ahead of time. Note to self: splurge on purchasing the wristbands ahead of time! My kids begged to return every day. Why is the fair so long?! J/K... please extend LOL

    The South Florida Fair was an absolute blast. First stop... the jumbo swings that are 177 feet in…read morethe air. Let me just say, I'm still shocked I actually did it. I kept telling myself, "You loved swings as a kid, you've got this," but this was a whole different level of terrifying. Totally worth it... but also mildly questioning my life choices while dangling in the sky. The food alone is reason enough to go. We shared bourbon pineapple chicken, steak tips, Redskin mashed potatoes, and way too much corn, and every bite was a win. Classic fair comfort food with some seriously good flavors. We hit the roller coaster, played games, caught a couple of shows, and just soaked in the whole vibe. The weather was perfect, the energy was fun, and it was one of those days where you're just genuinely happy you went. All in all, such a great experience. Already counting down to going back next year.

But the openness of the amphitheater was an excellent venue to have a beer festival. Pint glasses were handed out, which were a bit tedious to tote as opposed to lanyards in other fests I have attended. Security was tight as expected. Possibly 15 independent craft breweries were represented plus one famed name brand, Guinness. Long lines formed to try different types of IPAs, lagers, wheat beers, stouts, porters, Belgian ales to name a few. Beautiful weather with friendly people and background bands on stage made for an enjoyable afternoon. There were many water stations available to drink or rinse your pint glass. Some of the brewers had water available to washout your glass. South Florida has some excellent diversity in breweries.

    I was beyond excited when I found out that South Florida was going to have its very own music…read morefestival with artists like Capital Cities, St. Lucia, Fitz and The Tantrums, and Two Door Cinema Club. My friend and I immediately bought tickets. This was such a successful event... especially given it was its first run. Not only did they select a great line-up but they made it a "Musiculinary Experience" by adding 11 different breweries including Funky Buddha, Dogfish Head, Magic Hat, 9 food trucks and a variety of art exhibits. The only reason the event didn't get 5 stars was because of the difficulty level of getting any of the beers from the breweries or food from the food trucks. I suffered through one of the brewery's lines and then we tried to go to a food truck but the lines were ridiculously long. We asked a few people about the lines and the average wait had been well over an hour. I have to give them credit for trying though and I'm sure they'll figure out those logistics better for next year's festival. There's something about music that just brings people together. There's this sense of camaraderie when everyone around you is swaying and singing together. And there was no shortage of that at Coastline. The fact that all of the bands had their own way of engaging the audience added to the feel... Kim (Matt & Kim) "walked" on the crowd and amazed us all *she really did step off of the stage and walked and danced on the hands of the crowd (that girl has got some serious core strength!)* and Two Door Cinema Club had us all dancing through their entire set with all their fun & upbeat songs. The crowd had a general sense of happiness and I kept wishing I owned a flower headband and a flowy dress. Not having them didn't stop me from joining the crowd next to me as they jumped and danced in unison to the beat. Again, I'm really impressed with the result of their first run and I'm really looking forward to what's in store for next year's event!
