The Hook & Ladder Theater is proud to announce a sure sign of spring with the return of it’s Annual Morel Feast Fundraiser on Friday, May 31st, featuring another outstanding mix of local chef-talent with the focus on eclectic preparations of Minnesota’s state fungus, the mighty Morel!
As in past years, The Hook & Ladder Theater will be transformed for one-night only into a pop-up culinary exploration of this coveted rite-of-spring with live entertainment with Debbie Center and complimentary craft beers by Summit Brewing and a wide variety of complimentary wines & cocktails.

Note: Some people are allergic to even the safest mushrooms. The first time you try a new wild mushroom, it is important that you eat only a small amount. Most wild mushrooms should not be eaten in large quantities since they are difficult to digest. Please consume responsibly. The Hook and it’s partners are not responsible for any adverse reactions brought upon by unknown allergies and/or over consumption.
