Kennett Square Mushroom Festival and Parade
Kennet Square, the mushroom capital of the world, invites the public to their 40th Annual Mushroom Festival, celebrating “Harvesting 40 Years Together.” This event, which draws thousands to Kennett Square, celebrates the local mushroom industry, considered one of the most sustainable farming industries in the country, and raises funds in the form of grants awarded to local non-profits.
The weekend-long event will begin with the Mushroom Parade on Thursday, September 4th at 6:00 pm. The parade will travel down S. Broad St. and turn west on State St. and will feature bands, dancers, floats, and mushroom-themed entries.
The Festival itself will take place on Saturday, September 6th from 10:00 am – 6:00 pm and Sunday, September 7th from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm. Unique aspects of the Festival will include an amateur cooking contest featuring mystery ingredients and mushrooms and a fried mushroom eating contest, as well as traditional festival activities such as food, vendors, family fun, and live music. Don’t miss this celebration of Southern Chester County agriculture and tourism.
