Wild Rivers Mushroom Festival

The Wild Rivers Mushroom Festival has become one of the best mushroom events in the Pacific Northwest, and now is the time to make your plans to come to Brookings, Oregon, the weekend of November 9-10, 2024 for this very popular festival.

The festival is being held this year at Chetco Brewing Company (830 Railroad Street in downtown Brookings) and runs from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm both Saturday and Sunday. General admission is $5.00 for adults and covers one or both days; once you’ve paid, your colored wristband is all you need to show to come and go from the main hall during the festival. (Kids 12 and under are free to attend, as long as they’re with a paying adult; of course, they’ll get a different colored wristband.) Please note that service dogs are welcome at the Festival, but you need to leave your sweet and cuddly non-service dogs at home, as they’re a liability for Chetco Brewing Company and the Wild Rivers Mushroom Festival. (Thanks in advance for your understanding.)

One of the highlights of the Wild Rivers Mushroom Festival is our huge display, with over 200+ varieties of wild mushrooms that are locally collected and identified for you. Those who have attended our festival in the past are always in awe of the sheer number and diversity of wild mushrooms our team gathers for this display. We will also have a select group of vendors selling all things mushroomy, along with some local food trucks and beverages to keep you happy!

If you want to hear a lecture from one of our visiting experts or join a mushroom identification hike, tickets for those activities will go on sale Tuesday, Sept. 3rd (the day after Labor Day) at www.wildriversmushroomfestival.com. The cost for each lecture is $20.00, and hikes will be $10.00. Tickets should also be available at the door each day during the festival, provided they’re not already sold out! (Seating is limited, so it makes sense to buy your tickets in advance.)

Make your plans now to attend the Wild Rivers Mushroom Festival, Saturday and Sunday, November 9-10, 2024, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm each day. For more information, please email wildriversmushroomfestival@gmail.com, or call 541-661-1385. Hope to see you there!
