Part I
About this event
The Downtown Business Scarecrow Contest in Menomonee Falls is a charming fall tradition that invites the community to explore local creativity. Businesses throughout the downtown area craft unique scarecrows, each vying for the community's vote. It's a delightful way to experience the autumn season, with each display adding a touch of whimsy to the streets.
As you wander through the downtown area, you'll find scarecrows of all shapes and sizes, each reflecting the personality of the business that created it. This event not only showcases the artistic talents of local businesses but also encourages community interaction and engagement. Be sure to vote for your favorite and enjoy the festive lead-up to the Falls Harvest Fest.
