More Morels!
The 65th annual National Morel Mushroom Festival
May 10, 2025
May 15-18, Boyne City will be all about the mushrooms. The 65th annual National Morel Mushroom Festival takes over this northern Michigan town, starting with a Battle of the Bands on Thursday night, and ending with a paint-and-sip morel painting class on Sunday afternoon. The biggest events of the festival center on the fungus itself: a free morel hunting seminar on Friday, a Morel & Wine Dinner at Beach House Restaurant ($115 per person, two seatings, and often sells out!), a competitive Morel Mushroom Hunt starting at Boyne City High School ($30; online pre-registration recommended), and the Taste of Morels premiere event with the largest concentration of morel mushroom cooking in the world ($10 plus cash bar). And, for a lucky winner, there is the Great Morel Giveaway, where you can enter to win a pound—yes, a whole POUND—of mushrooms. Plan your weekend at bcmorelfestival.com.
