Scarecrow Fest returns to Fredericksburg

The annual downtown Scarecrow Fest has returned to Fredericksburg.

Explore historic downtown Fredericksburg and discover businesses’ scarecrow displays in their store windows. This year businesses have the option to decorate and display a scarecrow from four different categories: best business theme, funniest, historic, and spookiest.

This year the Fredericksburg Visitor Center at 706 Caroline Street has created a Mary Washington scarecrow to participate in the historic category.

As you take a stroll during the month of October, vote for your favorite scarecrows in each category. The winner with the most votes from each category will receive a special prize! The ballot, and the list/map of participants can be found here.

Make your Scarecrow Fest a day trip, weekend trip, or longer and plan your stay here.
