Scarecrow Trail

 

Get ready for a festive fall takeover—Uptown Columbus is hosting its first-ever Scarecrow Trail! From October 1 through October 31, Broadway will come alive with scarecrows this fall season.

Local businesses, organizations, and community members are invited to design and decorate their own scarecrow to be proudly displayed throughout Uptown. From spooky and silly to stylish and sophisticated, each scarecrow will showcase the personality of its creator while adding to the cozy, autumn atmosphere.

This event is more than just fun—it’s a fundraiser for Uptown Columbus! Your participation helps support our mission to keep Uptown vibrant, welcoming, and full of life. We truly appreciate your support in making this fall season unforgettable.

Stay tuned and get your straw and flannel ready—it’s going to be a scare-tacular season in Uptown!
