Greenwich Historical Society: Fall Scarecrow Festival

LIVE MUSIC | FOOD | SCARECROW CONTEST | CRAFTS

Bring the whole family for a fun fall day at our annual Fall Scarecrow Festival! Dance to live bluegrass and swing music by Too Blue, sip a cup of cider and dive into a mac and cheese bar. Don’t forget to have some cider donuts generously donated from Happiness Is.

In conjunction with our fall exhibition The Holley Boarding House: Inspiring American Impressionism, enjoy family-friendly crafts and activities inspired by the artists who made Cos Cob their home. Design your own Halloween mask, complete an art-themed scavenger hunt and learn how to do etching and printmaking.

Enter the competition with the chance to win one of five exciting prizes. This year’s scarecrow competition categories will be:

• Best Overall
• Most Creative
• Most Traditional
• Scariest
• Inspired by the Past: Impressionism and Artistic Innovation

Judges will award prizes to winners at the end of the event.

All scarecrow materials are provided with the purchase of each individual scarecrow frame. Feel free to bring your own clothes or accessories to make your scarecrow extra unique!
