Celebrate fall in Michigan’s Little Bavaria during Scarecrow Fest, with a fun family-friendly festival at Frankenmuth River Place Shops and special scarecrow displays throughout downtown Frankenmuth!

Taking place across two weekends in October, Scarecrow Fest includes special fall-themed activities for everyone in the family.
 

October 19-20 is set up to be a BLAST! With 6 performances from the Rock N Roll K9 team — 3 shows on Saturday at 11:00 am, 1:00 pm, and 3:00 pm & Sunday at 11:00 am and 1:30 pm.

Saturday and Sunday both weekends from noon – 6 pm, try your hand at the pumpkin catapult and see how far you can launch a pumpkin!

Some activities have a small fee; there is no entry fee for the Scarecrow Fest event.
