Pullen Park Scarecrow Festival

POSTED BY
Jody Mace

A Scarecrow In A Summer Garden

Pullen Park’s Scarecrow Festival will take place Saturday, September 28th, 2019, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

It’s happening at Pullen Park Picnic Area, 520 Ashe Ave, Raleigh.

It’s free to participate but you need to sign up. To register go to RecLink and search for program #251618.

You’ll need to register each person who will want to build a scarecrow. All supports and stuffing material will be provided. You bring the clothing you’d like your scarecrow to wear. And a scarecrow head.

All scarecrows remain on display as long as weather permits, so please plan to leave your scarecrow at Pullen Park. Please be aware your items will not be returned.

The program is listed as being for ages 1-99, but I’d bet you anything they wouldn’t turn away a 100-year-old who wanted to build a scarecrow.
