Annual Festivals and Events

Mount Pisgah has several major annual fundraising events: The Arbor Week Plant Sale in early April, Wildflower Festival in May, Garage Sale in September, and Mushroom Festival in October.

The Wildflower and Mushroom Festivals feature large educational specimen displays with experts on hand to answer questions. A large variety of plants (including many native species), food, natural crafts, books, t-shirts, and educational materials are available for purchase. Children's activities, music, and raffles add to the festivities. Visitors may also take guided tours of the Arboretum to learn about the area's ecology and history

The Wildflower Festival, co-sponsored by the Native Plant Society of Oregon and Lane Community College, takes place in May on the Sunday after Mother's Day and features extensive displays of Oregon's native and naturalized flowering plant species.



The Mushroom Festival, co-sponsored by the Cascade Mycological Society, is held on the last Sunday in October, and features a broad range of fungi collected throughout western Oregon. Experts are on hand during the show to help with mushroom identification. The Mushroom Festival also includes hayrides, cider pressing demonstrations, wine tasting, and a scarecrow contest.



In addition to these yearly events, the Arboretum also offers a wide variety of educational workshops year-round. Please check out our upcoming events page.
