Trick-or-Treat in a safe, beautiful environment! Our annual Halloween Costume Parade is now the Scarecrow Showdown Costume Parade and will be held on Wednesday, October 30th from 10:00am - 11:30am. Enjoy trick-or-treating by visiting over 25 scarecrows displayed in the garden created by the Northwest Arkansas community for our Scarecrow Showdown community art installation. Stroll through the garden to visit Community Partners and Scarecrow Showdown makers who will hand out treats and coupons while supplies last.
The Scarecrow Showdown Costume Parade is a great option for families looking for a safe way to immerse in Halloween Spirit! Preschoolers and parents are encouraged to wear costumes, explore the garden, and play raffle and yard games. Stay to hear the Scarecrow Showdown awards to visit the winning scarecrow, and conclude the event with a parade around the garden to show off your costume!
