MAHONE BAY SCARECROW FESTIVAL

September 26 - October 13, 2025

Mahone Bay takes the scarecrow theme to a whole new level!

Where else can you share a bench with Forrest Gump, spot Taylor Swift, and find Waldo—all within a 5-minute stroll?

As you explore our charming seaside town, you'll encounter a delightful mix of iconic characters and those born from pure imagination.

From outsized puffins curling with pumpkins to mermaids lounging at the Aquatic Garden to Cruella De Vil at the Dog Shop, every corner offers a new surprise.

Capture your own photo memories as you soak in the fall atmosphere, with golden sunshine, crunchy leaves, and the irresistible aroma of fresh pastries and seasonal treats.

Join in the community spirit with activities like the annual pie contest and sale, community breakfasts and luncheons, family fun, and a museum ‘best of’ yard sale—savor the flavors of autumn with a pumpkin latte in hand.

Fall is in the air, and Mahone Bay is ready to welcome you with open arms!
