Join us September 7 & 8, 2024 as we celebrate mushrooms in the heart of mushroom country. This year’s theme, “Spawning Future Growth,” encapsulates our dedication to nurturing not just the delicious fungi that we grow but also supporting the future of our community.
The Mushroom Festival will be held in the center of town on State Street! We encourage your support. THE HISTORY OF THE MUSHROOM FESTIVAL What started as a small, one block festival has grown to a nationally recognized event that attracts thousands of visitors to Kennett Square each year. While mushrooms are front and center—providing visitors with opportunities to see, touch, and taste all things mushrooms—the Festival also impacts organizations in and around Kennett Square,
MUSHROOMS MATTER
Beyond their taste and versatility, these little powerhouses pack a punch of nutrition. Loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, mushrooms are nature’s treasure trove of health benefits. From boosting immunity to supporting heart health, they’re a superfood you can’t afford to miss! But that’s not all—mushrooms are champions of sustainability. As nature’s recyclers, they thrive on organic matter and agriculture byproducts, making them a sustainable food source. With minimal environmental impact and maximum nutrition, mushrooms are paving the way for a greener, healthier future.
THE FESTIVAL: A CATALYST FOR COMMUNITY GROWTH
The Mushroom Festival isn’t just about festivities— it’s about fostering growth and giving back to the community. Each year proceeds from the Festival are awarded to local non-profit organizations through our community grants program. Since our humble beginnings, we’ve contributed more than $1 million to support local initiatives. From education to healthcare, environmental conservation to arts and culture, your support of the Festival fuels the engines of progress in Kennett Square and beyond.
