Event Specifics
Colorful, funny, scary and creative scarecrows begin popping up throughout Wayne County from Loa to Hanksville the first week in October. Local businesses, individual families, as well as organizations including Capitol Reef National Park have participated in this growing event.
Historically, each community in the county has operated very independently. There is a need to promote a positive relationship among these rural communities to create synergy and economic development for the entire county.
In addition to a county-wide scarecrow competition, the festival includes numerous family events including arts and crafts, pumpkin carving contests, vendors, and much more. The festival culminates with the annual Halloween family and community party at the Rim Rock Restaurant in Torrey. The party marks the conclusion of the tourist season in the area.
