Kennett Mushroom Festival

The Mushroom Festival celebrates mushrooms, mushroom farms and Kennett Square—the Mushroom Capital of the World. Festival attendees can sample a variety of mushroom-centric foods, from fried mushrooms to mushroom soup and many other dishes, and learn about mystical and interesting process of mushroom growing. Attendees can also visit the many craft vendors, many of whom offer mushroom-themed goodies, visit the delightful Kennett Square boutiques, and enjoy a variety of restaurant options in Kennett Square, and more.

While the Festival is a two day event in September, the Mushroom Festival lasts all year long with a Grants Program which provides grants to local non-profit organizations in Kennett Square from Mushroom Festival proceeds. To date, the Mushroom Festival has awarded more than $1.1 million to local non-profits and supported research on the health benefits of mushrooms.

This year’s Festival theme is “Harvesting 40 Years Together!” which encapsulates our dedication to nurturing not just the delicious and healthy fungi that we grow but also supporting the future of our community.
