Tuggle's Gap Roadside Inn and Rainbow Rock presents the 2nd Annual ChanterelleFest on Saturday, August 3, 2024.
Chanterellefest is "A Celebration of Foraging Fungi" featuring education, food, music and fun! We will have multiple education stations to learn about mushroom foraging, cooking, cleaning, storage and cultivation!
Learn At Our All Day Education Stations:
• Identifying Edible Mushrooms & Plants
• Cooking & Storing Wild Mushrooms
• Growing Mushrooms at Home
We have about a dozen local arts & craft vendors coming to sell their wares and will have music on our Gap Stage from 11:00 AM until 3:45 PM provided by Rebekah & Matt Hiser with special guests Scott Patrick and Hazy Mill.
Picnic style food, snacks and drinks will be available for purchase in the Tuggle's Gap shop so bring your chairs & blanket for a nice lunch with live music! Our shop is also stocked with great mushroom foraging tools like field guides & specialty knives, as well as the Official Chanterellefest T-shirt!
Kids activities include a Fairy House Building contest to work on beforehand and on the day of the event. We will also have a chanterelle drawing contest with prizes going to the best in each contest! Winners will be selected by votes on social media.
Admission is free.
Parking is limited so please carpool.
The event is rain or shine. There is enough covered and indoor areas to accommodate our vendors and education stations for the event if we see some showers.
