Scarecrow Festival Returning To Popular Bucks County Shopping Village

LAHASKA, PA — There's one thing for sure. You won't find many crows hanging out at Peddler's Village from Sept. 11 to Oct. 6.

Scarecrow season returns to Bucks County with a display of more than 100 handmade creations, all designed to, well, scare the crows away and bring in the visitors.

Recognized as one of the most popular annual events in the Philadelphia region, the seven-week-long Scarecrows in the Village competition and display will showcase dozens of scarecrows created by residents from throughout the Philly area.

From September 11 through October 9, visitors can vote for their favorite scarecrows via the Peddler’s Village mobile app or by picking up a paper ballot at the Visitor and Event Center. The display will continue through October 29.

In addition to the village-wide display, the village's Scarecrow Festival will return this year on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 16 and 17 with a weekend of fall fun featuring scarecrow workshops, live music, a juggling show, pumpkin painting, axe throwing, sand art, and outdoor food and drinks.

Advance registration for the scarecrow workshops is strongly encouraged; tickets and walk-in opportunities will be limited. Families and groups that register for the event will be guaranteed a designated space, materials and step-by-step instructions to create a life-size scarecrow to take home. The weekend schedule can be found on PeddlersVillage.com. Guests can also register for scarecrow workshops on September 23 and 30.

Couples interested in learning more about weddings at Peddler’s Village can register for the free Autumn Wedding Show on Sunday, September 10, where they can sample complimentary hors
d'oeuvres, beverages, and desserts, tour banquet and lodging spaces, view wedding fashions, and meet the Peddler’s Village event planning team and preferred vendors.

Every day, visitors can explore 60 unique specialty shops and boutiques, enjoy dining experiences at seven restaurants, visit the indoor family entertainment center known as Giggleberry Fair, and stroll on winding paths through seasonal gardens. They can also stay overnight at the on-site Golden Plough, a 66-room country-elegant inn.

All members of the public are invited to participate. Registration for the competition, which awards cash prizes up to $300, is open through Wednesday, September 6.
