Celebrate creativity, community, and country charm at the iconic Tamborine Mountain Scarecrow Festival! This beloved annual event transforms the entire mountain into a living art gallery, with locals and visitors alike crafting quirky, imaginative scarecrows that line the streets, gardens, and shopfronts.

Hosted by the Tamborine Mountain Chamber of Commerce, this free community celebration is the perfect excuse for a weekend trip to the mountain. Stroll through scenic streets, explore local cafés and boutiques, and join in the festivities that bring the region’s creativity to life.
