Mmm, Morels!

By Jillian Manning | May 7, 2022

The National Morel Mushroom Festival is…almost…here. The fun guys (get it?) take over Boyne City May 12-15 for a weekend of celebration in honor of the North’s favorite mushroom. Yes, we do know our beloved, spongy little friends have only just started to return after this cold spring, but we’re ready to party! Here’s what to expect: An arts and crafts show can be found in Veterans Park on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and you can catch a free morel seminar from expert Tony Williams at 3pm Friday. But the yummiest event of the weekend is the Taste of Morels on Saturday, May 14, from noon to 3pm when local chefs serve up their favorite morel-inspired dishes. The day caps off (more puns!) with a concert featuring the Family Tradition Band. Get all the details at bcmorelfestival.com or on their Facebook page.
