Plan the visit
Use October 17 as the confirmed 2026 festival date
The organizer identifies the 25th annual Texas Mushroom Festival for October 17, 2026, and the City of Madisonville separately lists the festival on that date. Treat the event as a one-day downtown anchor and use the organizer for final hours.
Build the day around food and exhibits
The festival mixes mushroom-centered food with art, photography, a car showcase, children's activities and entertainment. Review the current program before arrival so the day is not reduced to a single tasting stop.
Use Madisonville as the base
The event is city-centered and works naturally with other Madison County stops. Leave time on either side of the festival for the town rather than driving in only for one scheduled activity.
