Celebrating morels for 66 years!

Each spring hundreds of morel mushroom lovers from around the state, country and globe travel to small-town Boyne City, Michigan seeking and celebrating the marvelous morel at the National Morel Mushroom Festival. Found in the woods of beautiful northern Michigan, the elusive morel is savored by those lucky enough to find this delectable treat. The Festival is held the weekend after Mother’s Day, and features morel tastings, a national competitive hunt, seminar, arts & crafts show, concerts, a carnival, and MORE!
