Fall Fest Fun

Scarecrow experts (if such a thing exists) will be making their way to Elk Rapids on Saturday, Sept. 24, from 12-4pm for the downtown Elk Rapids Fall Fest. The event hosts a scarecrow contest throughout town, with local shops showcasing creative, seasonal displays that will almost certainly have you skipping down the proverbial yellow brick road and singing “If I Only Had a Brain” for the rest of the weekend. The contest takes place alongside live music from Jazz Cabbage, local art demonstrations, a beer and brat tent, and an autumn harvest market bursting with fall produce from local farmers. Fall Fest is family friendly, with crafts and games for kids, plus visits from reindeer a few months ahead of the holiday schedule. (Never too soon for reindeer, right?)
