The Mushroom Festival and Kennett Area Restaurant & Merchant Association are again hosting the annual Mushroom Drop being held at State & Union Streets this year. This is the ninth drop and the eighth at Broad and State. Last year, because of COVID, the event was in the Genesis parking lot.

Parking will be available at Kennett High School and at 600 S. Broad Street lot. A handicap-accessible shuttle will provide transportation from parking to the event site.

Weather permitting (no wind) the lighted mushroom will be raised at 8:55 p.m.  There will be opening celebrations.

Beginning at 7:30 p.m., there will be entertainment in the "Circle" (under the mushroom) to include, Kevin Pierce, KMC Dancers, and Jack Marshall.

The Funsters are back on stage (W. State Street) from 9 p.m. until 12:30 a.m.

Food will be available from On The Roll starting at 7:30 with meals and then lighter fare later in the evening.
