2012 Cambria Scarecrow Festival - Plan ahead and mark your calendars!
 |
For the entire month of October, over 250 of the most amazing, artistic and liveliest scarecrows will be taking up residence throughout Cambria's East & West Villages and Moonstone Beach Drive. Cambria will celebrate the arrival of the scarecrows with food, music and fun during Harvest Festival the 2nd weekend in October.
The Scarecrow Festival has been growing leaps and bounds since its introduction in 2009. It is a free event that, while presented by the Cambria Historical Society, does not raise any funds for the organization. It is just a real fun month-long event that is the Society's way of giving back to the community.
