FUNGI FEST #5!
May 15–16, 2026 | Ridiculous Ranch | Western Wisconsin
Hey all you FUNguys and FUNgals — we’re back for the 5th Annual Fungi Fest, happening Friday, May 15 and Saturday, May 16, 2026 — RAIN or SHINE!
Fungi Fest is a family-friendly music and mushroom festival in Western Wisconsin, celebrating morel mushroom season along the 45th Parallel near the Minnesota–Wisconsin border. What started as a gathering of friends has grown into a beloved Midwest spring festival tradition — and Year 5 is going to be something special.
(And yes… we’ve got a weather backup plan for music. The show always goes on.)
🎶 Live Music – Two Stages All Weekend
Music kicks off at 12:00 PM noon and flows all weekend long across:
Riverside Stage
Fireside Stage
Alternating sets keep the music steady, the transitions smooth, and our talented sound crew happy.
Expect a weekend full of Americana, bluegrass, folk, roots, and indie music in a relaxed riverside festival setting.
Music happens BOTH May 15 & May 16.
