The Scarecrow Festival always has the streets buzzing with excitement each year. The annual festival will return from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19 to downtown Dixon.

More than 100+ booths and activities await on six city blocks, including crafters, pumpkin painting, street performers, games, donut eating contests, a petting zoo, face painting, flowerpot decorating, and pumpkin bowling. A map outlining the major activities will be posted at discoverdixon.com the week before the event.

The Dixon Municipal Band will perform along the Riverfront. In addition, 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.
