🍁🍂 Get ready, Dixon! The Scarecrow Festival is coming Saturday, Oct. 18 from 10 a.m.–2 p.m. – taking over 6 blocks downtown with food, games, music, vendors, and family fun! 🎉More than 100+ booths and activities await on 6 city blocks, including crafters, pumpkin painting, street performers, games, donut eating contests, a petting zoo, face painting, flower pot decorating, and pumpkin bowling.
Pumpkin race “cars” will battle to be named the fastest racer down Hennepin Avenue as the annual Pumpkin Derby returns at 1 p.m. between First and Second Street.
For those looking to get a jump on holiday shopping, stores and downtown shops will be running specials and sales!
The Dixon Municipal Band will perform along the Riverfront. And make sure you come hungry, as food trucks will be located throughout the festival grounds!
Creativity will also be on display, as scarecrows decorated by local businesses and organizations can be seen throughout the festival and beyond in the downtown area.
Make sure you join Discover Dixon for Dixon’s largest festival of the year!
