The Meaford Scarecrow Invasion happens every autumn, September through mid-October. Meaford is invaded by hundreds of scarecrows hanging from lamp posts, posing in windows, and gathering outside Market Square & Meaford Hall. Meaford residents and businesses get in on the fun by entering contests for best scarecrows. Come see for yourself!
