One of our biggest goals at WNY Fungi Fest is to create an experience that the entire family can enjoy—and we’re so excited to have Francesca, better known as “Chese,” leading the way in our Children’s Corner!
With a background in both early childhood education and environmental science, Chese brings the perfect blend of creativity, curiosity, and a love for the natural world.
Throughout the weekend, she’ll be planning and leading a variety of engaging activities designed for children of all ages and, as she likes to say, “adults with a little extra whimsy to spare.” ✨
From nature-inspired games and creative activities to hands-on exploration and woodland fun, the Children’s Corner will be a place where young adventurers can learn, imagine, and make lasting memories.
At WNY Fungi Fest, we believe some of the best family moments happen outdoors—exploring, creating, and discovering together.
👨👩👧👦 And don’t forget: Kids 16 and under attend FREE with a supervising adult!
🎟 Bring the whole family and join us for an unforgettable weekend of nature, music, mushrooms, learning, and community.
