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.
Follow the Scarecrow Trail to discover hundreds of handmade scarecrows, each telling its own unique story. The festival is family-friendly and full of fun, with colouring and poetry competitions for kids, scarecrow contests for all ages, and plenty of opportunities to snap memorable photos.
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.
