ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

SCARECROW FESTIVAL

The Scarecrow Festival is a free and fun fall event that celebrates the creativity of the community through the display of unique scarecrow creations.

 

Each year, Creative Arts Group volunteers come together to prepare candy scarecrows and scarecrow kits that are provided free to the community. Businesses and families take part by building their creations.

 

Visitors can enjoy strolling through town to admire the imaginative and whimsical scarecrows on display.

 

The festival runs from the end of September through most of October and ends in a vote on the favorite scarecrows.

Last year over 100 scarecrows decorated homes and businesses throughout Sierra Madre. Winners in both business and residential categories were tallied based on Facebook likes and paper ballots. Thanks to everyone for getting in the seasonal spirit!  

Get your Kit in September!

Your kit will include stakes, bags (for filling) and a burlap bag. The rest is up to you! What next? Learn how to make one with our Online Tutorial.

Free kits are available for pick up beginning Sept 15th during regular business hours.
