A micro-celebration of all things fungi along Karangahape Road.



This August 2026 mini-programme is just the start and offers mushroom dishes at some of our favourite eateries, public art, interactive pop-ups, talks, free activities for the whole whānau, a subterranean costume parade plus the inaugural Giant Puff Ball!

These are the first spores for the Auckland Mushroom Festival, the humble sprouts for an evolving mycelial network.

Eat and imagine, dance and discover, fossick and fizz.

Brought to you by the Mushroom Appreciation Committee of Tāmaki Makaurau and with support from Auckland Council Events.
