Scarecrow Festival is family friendly and has lots of children events & activities:
St. Charles’ Scarecrow Festival is proudly produced by the St. Charles Convention & Visitors Bureauand built on traditions. In addition to Scarecrows on display in Lincoln Park, making your own scarecrow to take home, live entertainment, carnival, great food, and the naturally charming atmosphere of the St. Charles community, a foundation of our family-oriented festival is the fact that, every year there are new things to see and experience.
