September

Mushroom season

In the heart of the dense forests and bucolic trails of the Bas-Saint-Laurent, mycology comes to life!

Here, foraging is not just an activity, it’s a way of life where we take the time to observe, smell, discover and enjoy.

Whether you’re a seasoned picker or simply curious, set off to discover these forest riches, in an enchanting setting where every step is an invitation to learn more about the nature that surrounds us.

10 Years of Celebrations, Mushrooms, and Flavors

Join us from September 19 to 21 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Festival des champignons forestiers du Kamouraska! This must-see fall event brings together chefs, processors, producers, and foragers with one shared goal: to offer you an unforgettable experience.
