The resolution commemorates the 30th anniversary of Garlic Town U.S.A., a festival celebrating garlic and its cultural significance, which originated in 1995 as the Southern Vermont Garlic and Herb Festival in Wilmington. The event has grown significantly over the years, moving to Bennington in 2008 and expanding to attract 16,000 attendees by 2019, earning recognition as one of the world's top garlic festivals. After a brief hiatus due to the pandemic, the festival was rebranded and relocated to downtown Bennington, with plans for a vibrant one-day celebration on August 30, 2025, featuring 130 vendors, children's activities, food trucks, and a commitment to a zero-waste initiative.

The resolution acknowledges the hard work of the festival's organizers, supporters, and volunteers, particularly highlighting the contributions of current manager Mikaela Lewis. It expresses the General Assembly's recognition of Garlic Town U.S.A. as a significant celebration of flavor, community, and tradition, and directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to the Southwestern Vermont Chamber of Commerce.
