Taking place all October long, the largest scarecrow festival in Atlantic Canada will take over Prince Edward Island’s seaside city. Set against the backdrop of Charlottetown’s colourful and historic city, 800+ scarecrow installations will gather on street corners, in greenspaces, and along other picturesque points of the city.
The Charlottetown Scarecrow Festival triumphantly returns this fall just in time to bring moments of wonder and festive fun back to the downtown core.
Beyond the self-guided scarecrow tour, you can also look forward to haunted-themed programming, tarot readings, family fun, festive pop-up events, and more!
