Celebrate fall in Frankenmuth during Scarecrow Fest, with a fun family-friendly festival at Frankenmuth River Place Shops and special scarecrow displays throughout downtown Frankenmuth! Scarecrow Fest includes both a Kids and Dog Weekend with special activities for everyone in the family.

Both weekends include activities from 12 noon to 6 PM Saturday and Sunday - arts and crafts, pumpkin painting, pumpkin bowling, Grandpa Tiny’s Barrel Train Ride and the ever-popular pumpkin catapult, where you can launch your own pumpkin high up in the air before it come smashing down on a huge dump truck target.
