Spanning the entire month from October 1–31, the Cambria Scarecrow Festival has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and ABCNews.com—with good reason. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Over 200 handcrafted scarecrows delight visitors of all ages and offer a perfect photo op around every bend.
