Scarecrows in the Village
September 7 - October 26
Celebrating 47 years of Scarecrows in the Village
Every day from September 7 through October 26
An autumn tradition continues! For six fun-filled weeks, over 100 scarecrows line the brick pathways of our autumn-tinted Village. Some are inspired by famous characters, some are humorous, some are scary – but all of them are carefully handmade by Philly-area residents and organizations. The display is free and on view every day through October 26. Creators of the winning scarecrows in each category win prizes. To view the location of each category, please download this map.
