The first-ever Ohio Mushroom Festival will be held this summer

Joining the ranks of other niche events like Skunkfest in North Ridgeville and the Cleveland Pickle Fest, the Buckeye State is set to launch its first-ever Ohio Mushroom Festival later this year.

The Festival will be held Sept. 22-24 at 10321 Silica Sand Rd. in Garretsville, a small village in northeastern Ohio.

The event is billed as a celebration of all things mushrooms, and plans to feature everything from guided foraging trips to mushroom workshops, food, local art and live music. It’s billed as a festival that’s committed to exploring and sharing the “culinary, healing and medicinal properties of mushrooms and plants.”
