California Scarecrow Competition
Scarecrow & Pumpkin Fests

Sonoma 4H club may have started this event in the wine country town of Cloverdale, but now there are numerous locations holding scare crow related autumn festivals and contests. An amazing amount in fact!

Cannot find the Cloverdale event? Neither can we, so we’ve searched high and low to locate many more – all inside California. Go support the locals and enjoy a fun day of Scarecrows, food, music, games, arts and craft sales.
