About this event
Scarecrow Weekend in downtown St. Charles, held for more than 40 years, showcases more than 120 handmade scarecrows around town for visitors to view and vote on. A Family Zone in Lincoln Park has live entertainment and free activities such as pumpkin bowling, the Riverside Activity Zone has photo ops, Scarecrow-to-Go and family activities, and more live entertainment plays on the 1st Street Plaza. There is no carnival; food comes from vendors in the two zones and local businesses with handheld options.
Our take: Pair the scarecrows with the Autumn on the Fox Craft Show in Pottawatomie Park, which has more than 100 vendors and food trucks.
