A great weekend for all Northern Michigan mushroom hunters has arrived.
The 63rd annual National Morel Mushroom Festival kicked off Thursday in Boyne City. The festival is put on to celebrate the elusive fungus that many Michiganders love to hunt down in the spring.
The festival includes a bunch of family friendly events all through Sunday evening, including a farmers market, arts and crafts shows, painting in the park and more.
“For me as a volunteer, there’s great value in just civic involvement and community getting together to celebrate. It’s kind of like a proud parent. You just come out of showing off your community,” Scott MacKenzie, a Morel Mushroom Festival volunteer, said.
