Numerous fall activities planned in the Santa Ynez Valley/Santa Barbara Wine Country throughout the month-long Scarecrow Fest stretch.

Hundreds of Scarecrows to Grace the Towns of Ballard, Buellton, Los Olivos and Solvang, as the Annual Scarecrow Fest and Contest Goes Valley-Wide.

This year's Scarecrow Fest, sponsored in part by Visit Santa Ynez Valley, includes the SYV communities of Ballard, Buellton and Los Olivos, and the town that started the original Scarecrow Fest, Solvang.

Visitors and SYV locals are encouraged to play, stay and enjoy the scarecrow sights and many scheduled, community events. The Santa Ynez Valley offers something for everyone in the fall, with a multitude of wine and/or food events happening 

The original contest was created to drive business to each of the participating businesses, storefronts, merchants and organizations, as well as to the town and the surrounding Santa Ynez Valley locales, in general. Past years' Santa Ynez Valley Scarecrow Fests have received far-reaching publicity, drawing increased visitor activity to the region and inspiring other California towns to host Scarecrow Fests of their own, such as the Big Bear Village Scarecrow Festival.
