The Morel & Music Festival 2015 is packed with so many things to do, we're not sure how we'll cram it into one weekend. Aside from 12 world class bands playing during the fest, we'll also be featuring some of the greatest mushroom minds in the world into this awesome weekend!
Morel Lectures- This year from noon until 4p.m. (Friday & Saturday) on the Main Stage. we'll feature some of the greatest mushroom hunters & lecturers in the world.
Live Music on the Main Stage- From 6pm until Midnight on Friday & Saturday we'll feature world class music
Indiana State Championship Hunt- Friday, April 24th at 4 p.m. The busses will be loading up & heading to a top secret destination, where folks will compete to become the newest Indiana State Morel Hunting Champion! It's going to require a lot of determination to knock off back-to-back champ Cameron "the honey badger" Humfleet, who is the 2 time defending champ!
Guided Hunts- Some of the same speakers & hunters who are giving the lectures will be leading 7 different forays this year to different locations across the Tri-County area.

Also there will be crafts, a "kids zone" with bounce houses, and the introduction of the "KMC" kids morel club.
Arts & Crafts Exhibition- This is a new addition for 2015. Last year we had several people say that they wished there were more vendors, so we decided to take it to the next level. We'll be joined by many different arts & crafts vendors from throughout the Midwest, bringing in their awesome handmade items to share with the world.
Craft beer tent- We'll feature several craft beers from breweries throughout the Midwest.
Campfire jams & story telling- One of the greatest parts of the festival is the after hours. There are campfire jams & stories going on all over the 55 acre plus Bill Monroe Music Park & Campgrounds. Make sure that you bring and instrument if you play one, and also your best boots, because the stories get pretty deep :)
We'll have the complete schedule listed as soon as possible-Shroom On!
