The Whimsical Scarecrow Invasion Event - 4/5 Stars
The annual Scarecrow event (often dubbed the "Scarecrow Invasion" or similar) is a charming, family-friendly delight. Local businesses, clubs, and families decorate and submit scarecrows that are displayed throughout the formal gardens. The result is a funny, creative, and slightly bizarre procession of characters, ranging from traditional burlap figures to modern, pop-culture-themed designs. It brings a playful, community spirit to the garden, and hunting for the most creative entry is half the fun. It’s spooky enough for the holiday without being scary, making it ideal for young children. The diversity of the scarecrows truly showcases the talent and humor of the Athens community.
