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!
