Mendocino Purple Urchin Festival

Join us for this inaugural celebration of these delicious, invasive and spiky creatures! 

June 17-19, 2022 

3 Days of Events

MendoParks is proud to partner with the inaugural Urchin Festival, offering educational activities and uni related experiences. 

This will be a weekend of incredible food prepared by world-class chefs, hands-on education about the complex ecology of our Pacific Ocean, cracking and preparation demos, and so much more!

All proceeds from the uni demonstration and the Sake Seminar on Saturday June 18 benefit MendoParks.
