Peddler’s Village Kicks Off “Scarecrow Season” With Multiple Events

LAHASKA, PA — Peddler’s Village will launch this year's “Scarecrow Season” with three main events: Scarecrows in the Village, a display of more than 100 handmade creations; a Scarecrow Festival on Sept. 14 and 15; and scarecrow-making workshops that begin during the festival and continue on Sept. 21 and 28.

Other events taking place in September at Peddler’s Village include a free pet photography exhibit, an Autumn Wedding Show, a free outdoor movie, a murder mystery dinner show, a Food Truck Thursday, a meeting of the Peddler’s Village Book Club, and a terrarium-making workshop.

Every day, visitors are invited to explore 60 specialty shops and boutiques, enjoy dining experiences at restaurants and eateries, visit the indoor family entertainment center known as Giggleberry Fair, and stroll on winding paths through seasonal landscaping.

Recognized as one of the most popular annual events in the Philadelphia region, the free Scarecrows in the Village competition and display showcases dozens of scarecrows created by Philly-area residents, organizations, and village shops. All members of the public are invited to participate.
