Fall Scarecrow Festival at Greenwich Historical Society
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 10/19/2024
Bring the whole family for a festive and fun-filled day at our greatly anticipated annual Fall Scarecrow Festival! Compete in our scarecrow building competition with the chance to win five exciting prizes, dance to live bluegrass and swing music by Too Blue, and enjoy hot dogs, chili and snacks from Burke Catering. Make sure you also leave time to explore our newly opened exhibition, Greenwich During the Revolutionary War: A Frontier Town on the Front Line, to learn about how the lives of all of those living in Greenwich were forever changed when war arrived at their front doors. Afterwards, live like you’re a Patriot spy for the day by making your own tricorn hat, learning to write messages with a quill, and completing a top-secret mission before the festival ends!
