The sixth annual Scarecrow Stroll will take place from October 17-30, 2025! Tour our town to see one-of-a-kind scarecrows displayed by participating Amherst shops, restaurants, businesses and community groups. And this year we're expanding the event to encourage local homeowners to part take part, too!

Have we captured your attention yet? Here's another fun way to participate: Amherst in Gloom (a spin on the local initiative "Amherst in Bloom") is for residents who love to decorate their home/yard with Halloween/spooky/fall decor! When you submit your address we will add it to the map for our community to tour scarecrows and wonderfully gloomy scenery.

Sign up here for the Scarecrow Stroll and Amhrest in Gloom. The deadline to sign up and be included on the map is Friday, October 10, 2025.

Have a look at the fantastic scarecrows that popped up all around town last year.
