Morgan Hill has long held the reputation of “Mushroom Capital of the World,” a title rooted in its vibrant and longstanding mushroom farming heritage. For 42 years the Morgan Hill Mushroom Festival has organized a 2-day festival on Memorial weekend, attracting thousands of visitors to the City to dine, dance, shop, and learn more about fungi. This year festival goers can:
-Venture over to the Rose Garden to get the full mushroom experience including cooking demos, health benefits, growing techniques, and even purchase a growing kit to test their green thumb.
-Visit food vendors showcasing Mushroom dishes from stuffed, sautéed, sandwiched, deep fried and grilled. Adventurous adults are encouraged to try the Mushroom Beer!
-Dance, or at least tap a foot, to live music on three different stages.
-Shop from 150+ unique and boutique vendors.

Buy a floral shirt and dust off your sneakers as you prepare to walk, jog, or run during the annual Wildflower 2K/5K/10K event on Sunday March 30. This year marks the 42nd anniversary of the run and the first time offering a Kids' 2K Run (ages 5-11) and "all inclusive, non-competitive" 2K Fun Run/Walk (ages 2-102). Organized by the Morgan Hill Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW), the run continues to be one of the few non-profit, 100% volunteer-run events in the state of California. All proceeds from the Wildflower Run fund scholarships and leadership programs for women & girls, as well as community grants.
The Morgan Hill Branch of AAUW was chartered in 1981, has over 170 members and–especially for its size–is one of the most active and successful branches in the country. Learn more about AAUW and the Wildflower Run HERE.
