Each spring, Richmond hosts a Mushroom Festival in honor of their title as ‘Mushroom Capital of the World.’ This festival brings together many local businesses and also includes events such as a cornhole tournament and a car show. The event is hosted at the historic Farris Theatre in the heart of Richmond, MO.

This event is a source of pride for the region and is a great way to draw in visitors from the whole state and beyond. Annual festivals and fairs are a great way to get in touch with the culture and traditions of the region and the Mushroom Festival is no exception. The region surrounding Richmond is known for the variety of mushrooms that it produces; but the culinary options are not limited to that!
