Festivals & Events

Festivals

Our Wildflower & Music Festival and Mushroom Festival are traditions that have delighted the local community for 40 years. Each festival features large educational displays—wildflowers in the spring, and mushrooms in the fall— with experts on hand to answer questions. Our stage features live music by local bands all festival-day-long. Throughout the festival day, local naturalists and experts lead guided nature walks through the Arboretum highlighting the area’s ecology and history. For those that are looking to take something home from our festivals, our Merchandise Booth features collectible festival t-shirts and posters and educational materials. We also have vendors selling plants (including many native species), arts & crafts, books and a food cart area bursting with delicious flavors. And for the kiddos, we have a booth just for them full of fun activities!
