Downtown Doylestown is about to get a lot more straw and a lot more smiles. The first annual Doylestown Borough Scarecrow Stroll runs from Saturday, Oct. 17, through Halloween, Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026. Discover Doylestown lists the window as noon on Oct. 17 through 5 p.m. on Oct. 31. Walk past the scarecrow entries and vote for your favorite.
Doylestown is a town where a quick errand turns into an afternoon. State Street, Main Street, a coffee, a shop you didn't plan on. Scarecrows around downtown through Halloween give you one more reason to stay for dinner.
Patch reported on Oct. 14, 2026 that you can vote by scanning the QR code on each entry or by picking up a paper ballot at Vespertine Boutique, 30 North Pine Street, or Doylestown Borough Hall, 10 Doyle Street. Organizers are also nudging people to pop into the shops and restaurants while they're out.
Discover Doylestown bills it as the first annual Scarecrow Stroll, running from midday Oct. 17 through 5 p.m. on Oct. 31 downtown. Visit Bucks County has it on its events calendar too.
No ticket, no timed entry. Just walk, vote and linger. With two full weeks on the calendar, you can catch it on a lunch break, an after-work stroll or a weekend loop with the kids.
Winners and the final entry count haven't been posted yet. Discover Doylestown and Borough Hall are the places to watch.
