This senseless act has left many injured and claimed the lives of three young individuals, including Stephen Romero, who was just six years old.”

The Gilroy Garlic Festival has been a treasured cultural tradition that brought thousands together and raised millions to support local charities and community groups. Gilroy is resilient and our community will come together.”
