Overview:

October in Cambria and San Simeon holds a special appeal! The weather is at its most spectacular and the Annual Scarecrow Festival, named to Travel Channel’s Don’t Miss List, is in full swing. It’s a great time to experience the area at its quirky and creative best. All month long, scarecrows showcase the artistic creativity, whimsical spirit and sense of humor that is Cambria. Hundreds of scarecrows line the streets, shop windows and beach fronts of these coastal communities.

The scarecrows will be positioned and displayed in well-defined areas around town that can be viewed by parking and walking. Scarecrow Walks are unique in that each display is outdoors and they can all be easily enjoyed while maintaining social distancing. Use the Visit Cambria App as a guide through the festival with location details and previews of the scarecrows.

This October, more than 400 imaginative and lively scarecrows will line the streets of Cambria’s East and West Villages, Moonstone Beach, and San Simeon. The scarecrows are the perfect manifestation of Cambria’s incredibly artistic community — come see them for yourself! Now in its 14th year, the Cambria Scarecrow Festival has grown into a community-wide event with hundreds of scarecrows. This fun event runs all month long, October 1-31!
