2026 Scarecrow Trail

Welcome to the third annual Scarecrow Trail!

Visit over thirty Downtown Highland Park businesses to see uniquely decorated, festive scarecrows. The trail kicks off with Scarecrow Fest on September 25 and will run through October 10.

Be sure to vote for your favorite scarecrow; the winner will be announced at Port Clinton during Stews & Brews on October 10.

Scarecrows can be found along Central Ave., inside Port Clinton Square, on First St., Second St., Sheridan Rd., and Elm Pl.! A detailed map can also be found here.

A special thank you to Mariani Landscape for sponsoring the scarecrow forms!
