Scarecrow Fest

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.
Saturday and Sunday, both weekends from noon – 6 pm, try your hand at the pumpkin launcher and see how far you can launch a pumpkin! Other fun fall-themed activities include pumpkin bowling, arts and crafts, pumpkin painting, inflatables, and riding Grandpa Tiny’s Barrel Train! Some activities have a small fee; there is no entry fee for the Scarecrow Fest event.
