PARK CITY, Utah — Fall fun is around every corner at McPolin Farm with the return of the annual Scarecrow Festival on Saturday, October 4. Families and locals are invited to build and display their own scarecrows along the farm’s scenic trail.

The City will be providing straw for stuffing, a display packet, and a support to help your scarecrow stand tall. Participants are encouraged to bring their own creative touches, including a head, clothing, shoes, props, and any other funky accessories to personalize their creation. For those who prefer, scarecrows can also be built at home and installed at the farm at any time as long as the registered name tag is attached.

Tickets are available in two categories. Non-event tickets are $25 and include straw, a support, and a display packet. Event tickets, priced at $50, include all of the above plus access to a festive celebration from 2 to 4 p.m. on October 4, featuring pumpkin painting, face painting, cookies, and cider.

Attendees are asked to leave pets at home and refrain from using scarecrows for advertising purposes.

This community celebration promises to be a fun, creative way to welcome the autumnal season and see the ingenuity of local scarecrow builders on full display. Tickets can be purchased here.
