Mary Valley Scarecrow Festival 2026

Plan a day trip to the Mary Valley in September for the annual Mary Valley Scarecrow Festival.

The popular Sunshine Coast event celebrates the creativity of our community with the coming of Spring. Mary Valley locals recycle old materials with a bit of flair to shape scarecrows to dot the countryside for visitors to Mary Valley Country.

The 2026 theme is Fairy Tales with cash prizes on offer: $500 for the grand champion – best in the Mary Valley, $100 for the winner of each category and $50 for the best child entry.

A scarecrow map will be uploaded to the website in the first week of September so you can plan your drive from Dagun to Kenilworth. Time to go scarecrow spotting! Details Mary Valley Scarecrow Festival | Queensland - Mary Valley Artslink
