When temperatures fall and pumpkin spice lattes return to cafe menus, it's officially time for autumn. Each year in Bucks County, the Scarecrow Festival at Peddler's Village helps to ring in the new season. On September 17th and 18th of this year, you can head to the picturesque collection of rustic boutiques to join in the fun.

The main event is the scarecrow display, which takes over the entire village. Seasoned scarecrow-makers show off their creations and wait with while you vote for your favorite. You can also construct your own scarecrow at one of the scarecrow-making workshops, which provide all the necessary tools and instruction. Paint pumpkins or even create sand art this year at the Scarecrow Festival.
