Located in downtown Morgan Hill, California, the Morgan Hill Mushroom Mardi Gras Festival is held Memorial Weekend each year. Attendance estimates are about 70,000 visitors over the two-day event. The mission of the Mushroom Mardi Gras Festival (a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation), is to provide a fun and entertaining family festival with an emphasis on promoting the mushroom and educating consumers about the health benefits of mushrooms, all while financially awarding scholarships to high school seniors living within the boundaries of the Morgan Hill Unified School District and monetary donations to local non profit clubs and organizations.
