It's Mushroom Mania in Kennett Square
This weekend, Kennett Square's got a carnival of mushrooms, and Talula's got a table you might actually have a shot at eating from!
It's Mushroom Mania in Kennett Square
If you’re feeling like you need to get out of the city, Kennett Square’s looking pretty good this weekend… provided you’re a mushroom fan, anyway. Yup, it’s time for the 27th Annual Kennett Square Mushroom Festival! There’s a parade through town and a carnival opening this evening, but the real celebration of mushrooms kicks off tomorrow, Saturday September 8th, at 10 a.m., and runs through Sunday.
On the roster, you’ll find growers’ exhibits, a mushroom soup cook-off, a fried mushroom eating contest (sadly, registration is full—believe me, I checked), cooking demos (including one by Top Chef’s Antonia Lofazo), mushroom farm tours, a “soup and wine” fest (that classic combo), and plenty of other activities to check out.
And, of course, there will be a ton of food featuring the star of the show all throughout the festival’s street fair. Kennett Square destination Talula’s Table (102 W. State St.) will have a stand offering up all sorts of fungus-filled comfort foods (mushroom scones! mushroom risotto! mushroom mac and cheese!) featuring a wide variety of mushrooms from nearby Phillips Farm. Amongst many others, you’ll also find stands from Kennett Inn and Chickie’s and Pete’s. Oh, and keep an eye out for mushroom ice cream.
Admission is all of 2 bucks for adults (free for the under-12 set), and you can find all the rest of the specifics over at their site.
