Bayfield will be displaying full-fall colors with scarecrows throughout the city and orchards. Come and enjoy the third-annual Bayfield Scarecrow Festival and Orchard Tours beginning September 13th and running through October 31st.

"The Best Little Town in the Midwest," presents a spectacle of fall color to be discovered in this small historic village located on the warm shores of Lake Superior. Come celebrate the bounty and the unmatched fall colors while taking part in the Midwest's largest harvest festival.

There is plenty of fun for the entire family! Besides finding your favorite scarecrows you can do some apple picking, sample apple cider and apple treats of all kinds, take a hayride, ride a pony, visit a winery, walk a field maze, go to a barn dance, try a scavenger hunt, take a Ghost Walking Tour and more! Also, be sure to enjoy Bayfield's other fun activities including cruises, sailboat rides, hiking, biking, golfing, shopping in Bayfield's quaint shops and galleries and great dining, all amidst the beauty of fall colors.
