Stevenson Mushroom Festival 2026

The Stevenson Mushroom Festival returns on 17 October 2026 in Stevenson, Washington. The organiser announces a new, distributed format: a "Mushroom Hunt Passport" booklet leads between points around the town, where family activities, demonstrations, foraging-inspired education, a makers' market and food offerings take place. This is a town-wide game and festival, not a promise of a wild mushroom harvest.

Passport reservations are due to open on 1 August. The site gave a price of 5 dollars with a promotional code until 31 August, and 10 dollars afterwards. These amounts and the list of stops may change; the final information should be confirmed before buying travel. Because the activities are spread out, the coordinates point to the centre of Stevenson rather than to a single entrance gate.

The town lies in the Columbia River Gorge, where October tends to be wet. Comfortable footwear and rainwear are more practical than a basket. The official date and the announced format of the event were checked on 30 July 2026.

A town passport with the programme still incomplete

The official site fixes this one-day Stevenson, Washington festival on 17 October 2026. Its central device is a “Passport Book,” guiding visitors among selected town locations where they collect stamps. Holders are promised access to hands-on crafts and children’s activities, foraging-inspired education and demonstrations, a mushroom-and-maker market, restaurant specials and shop discounts.
