Scarecrow Fest Activities

We're excited to introduce eco-themed workshops as well as news arts and crafts stations for the whole family. Pick up a full schedule of events at the welcome table when you arrive.

The festival kicks off at 1 p.m., with activities running all afternoon: Create your own seed balls with the Woodstock Pollinator Pathway and Hudson Valley Seed Co. at 1:15; sing along with local favorite Elly Wininger at 2; explore bedrock geology for kids with Dr. Robert Titus at 2:15; and join WLC’s Melissa Peterson at 3:15 for a short tree identification walk.

Throughout the day, families can also enjoy the Scarecrow Craft Station featuring pumpkin painting, indigo dyeing, branch weaving, pollinator coloring sheets and more -- while supplies last. Space is limited for workshops, so plan to arrive at the central workshop station about 10 minutes early to save your spot. Come for the crafts, stay for the community, and celebrate fall with us!
