 Each year the Garlic Fest reaches out to the local community to involve schools and local non-profit organizations in the event. This year the Milagro Center children are involved in the production an “Opening Celebration” along with local song writers, and entertainers to perform popular songs about the ecology, peace, love, social awareness, as well as original music. =0D=0A=
 Entertainment Director for Delray Beach Arts, Jerry Leeman, accepted a position to work with the students and faculty at the Milagro Center to develop the opening act. Jerry will begin teaching a class at the Center called “The Appreciation of the impact music has on society, culture, and in our own lives”. The students will first gain insight to how music impacts their own lives. The students will then perform as part of the opening act of the “9th Annual Delray Beach Garlic Fest”.=0D=0A=
 The Milagro Center Kids will perform the legendary songs “Woodstock” and “Put a little love in your Heart”, with their opening celebration incorporating music, dance, drumming and visual art. The idea behind The Big Love Medicine Show is to first showcase The Milagro Center, an award-winning cultural Mecca of Delray Beach and secondly to feature local songwriters and musicians that have provided thousands of fans with heart felt music through the years. Often these musical soldiers go unnoticed in the corner of bars and night clubs all over south Florida as they belt out their tunes four hours a night, five or six days a week, year round! Their poetry is often overlooked and under heard! This is your chance to hear them.=0D=0A=
 The Delray Beach Garlic Fest continues to offer garlic fans the opportunity to celebrate the most widely used and loved food in the world…GARLIC. Come and join us for a stinking good time!=0D=0A=
