TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN HAS SOMETHING TO ”CROW” ABOUT!!
The 2012 Scarecrow Festival was again a fun filled weekend for the young and young at heart and was a great success!
Dates for 2013 – Friday 18th to Sunday 20th of October!
The fifth Scarecrow Festival on Tamborine Mountain held in October 2012 was again a huge success. Over 200 scarecrows lined the 17 km trail and added some extra sparkle to beautiful Tamborine Mountain.
The festival is designed to provide lots of fun for everyone, allow Buskers and Art Folk to be creative, offer involvement of the whole community and for everyone to enjoy a chuckle at each others efforts in Scarecrow building.
A variety of great entertainment incl. singers, musicians, dancers and drummers perform in the streets and restaurants in North Tamborine and Gallery Walk over the weekend.
In 2010, the “Starlight Foundation” raised $825 with donations from the public. The winners of the Best Traditional Scarecrow, Peter and Robyn Cornell, have donated their Scarecrow to the foundation, and his new home is the Mater Children’s Hospital in Brisbane.
Mt Tamborine’s scarecrows were again of an amazingly high standard, so get ready for an even better display next year!
Mark your calendar for next years Scarecrow festival on Mount Tamborine and make sure to book your accommodation early if you want to take part in both days of the festival!
