Scarecrows line the walkways

More than 150 handmade scarecrows are on display throughout Peddler's Village in New Hope, Pa., the Bucks County shopping destination's signature fall attraction.

47 years and counting

The 47th annual Scarecrows in the Village is already underway. It stays up through Monday, Oct. 26, giving you seven weeks to wander through.

Free to walk through

The outdoor display costs nothing to see. Every scarecrow is made by Philly-area residents and organizations, not by a vendor.

“The outdoor attraction is free, and the scarecrows are handmade by Philly-area residents and organizations.”

The big weekend is Sept. 19-20

The annual Scarecrow Festival runs both days from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission and parking are free, and it happens rain or shine.

Pumpkins, axes and a bounce house

Both festival days bring pumpkin painting, face painting, sand art, lawn games, hay piles, axe throwing and a bounce house. Some activities are pay-as-you-go.

Build one to take home

For $40, a workshop kit gets you a life-size scarecrow with clothing, decorations, straw and instructions. Sessions run several times each festival day, plus again on Sept. 26.

Sunday adds a petting zoo

Animals arrive Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. Music shifts across the weekend: Borderline and 2D on Saturday, then Station Hill Bluegrass, the Give & Take Jugglers and Lost Crickets String Band.

Bacon on a stick

Outdoor food vendors include Kono Pizza Buck Co., Bacon on a Stick, The Lucky Cupcake Company and FresCafe Food Co. Free Will Brewing, Hewn Spirits and Nissley Vineyards pour drinks.
