Our chef partners
Thank You to Our 2025 chef partners
We are proud to celebrate the talented chefs who bring incredible flavor, creativity, and passion to the Cleveland Garlic Festival. Whether they’re competing in our fiery grill-offs or sharing their skills in live cooking demonstrations, these culinary leaders help make the festival a true celebration of local food.
Their participation not only delights festivalgoers—it also highlights the power of fresh, seasonal ingredients grown right here in Northeast Ohio. We're deeply grateful for their support and for their commitment to uplifting our local food community.
