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 making hundreds of scarecrows and decorating the downtown area to reflect the town’s agricultural heritage. Come see for yourself!
