Peddler’s Village, a landmark shopping, dining, and entertainment destination in the rural heart of historic Bucks County, PA, will kick off its 41st annual scarecrow season on Wednesday, September 9 with Scarecrows in the Village, a property-wide display of scarecrows created by individuals and businesses in the greater Philadelphia region. The open-air Scarecrows in the Village display will be on view every day through October 31. Safety measures are in place, and admission and parking for the Scarecrows in the Village display are free.
