WELCOME TO THE 21st ANNUAL MAHONE BAY
SCARECROW FESTIVAL & ANTIQUE FAIR!
Join us for the 21st Annual Scarecrow Festival & Antique Fair where a fun-filled, family weekend awaits your arrival…
Each year the town comes to life with over 200 hand-made, life-size scarecrows. From the traditional to a scarecrow version of the Royal Family, you will delight in these unique and extraordinary creations.
The festival kicks off on Friday morning when all of the Scarecrows are officially on display. On Saturday night we have the Pumpkin Walk, where hundreds of hand-carved pumpkins adorn the path all lit up to create a magical night. Families can stroll the pumpkin path and see close-up these incredible works of art. There is always plenty of hot apple cider on hand to keep everyone warm.
The festival draws thousands of visitors each year. Highlights include special children’s activities and crafts, musical entertainment, historic graveyard tours, book sales, BBQ’s, yard sales, the Quilt Jamboree and of course the largest antique show in the Maritimes featuring the most respected dealers.
It is truly one of the most unique festivals in the province!
