Spring has sprung and that means one thing mushrooms!

Our annual Mushroom Festival is returning to Pere Marquette Lodge for it’s 15th year! This crowd favorite event is free and open to the public and great for all ages! Come join us for unique vendors both indoors and out, live music on our winery patio, themed drinks and specials, mushroom hunting, and all there is to learn about Morel mushrooms!

The Great Morel Hunt will be held at 1pm (weather and morel permitting). You’ll join fellow hunters from all over the area as you scan the ground for these delicious delicacies! If you’re new to mushroom hunting, not to worry! The Lodge will have 2 seasoned hunters out in the woods with you for help! Once the hunt is over, bring your finds back to the Lodge to see if you found the smallest, biggest, or most Morels. If you do, you’ll be taking home a free night stay to our one of a kind Lodge! The hunt is free and for all ages! Please wear sturdy shoes as you will be on uneven ground and bring a sack to hold your finds. Spring is in the air and mushrooms are on the ground…let’s find em!
