The date is here! The Wild Mushroom Fair will take place in Chapultepec on August 1 and 2. It’s an event where you’ll learn more about mushrooms and sample must-try dishes like tamales and even pickled mushrooms. Admission is free.
It’s during the rainy season that we can find the most mushrooms. This fair will celebrate the fungal kingdom through various activities and must-try dishes. You’ll be able to participate in workshops as well as attend various talks.
The best part is that there will also be mushroom-inspired merchandise for sale. Mark your calendar because the event will only last two days. It’s this weekend!
