Downtown Alpharetta has now come alive with over 150 creative scarecrows crafted by members of the community. As these imaginative displays pop up throughout the city, they signal the arrival of fall, bringing joy to residents and visitors alike. Strolling through the scarecrow-lined streets during October has become a cherished tradition for all.
Self-guided tours of the scarecrow "patches" are encouraged, with detailed maps available online at the Scarecrow Harvest Walking Tour Map. For an extra dose of fun, all scarecrows are automatically entered into the Scarecrow Community Competition.
