Seekonk ‘Scarecrow Fest’

Seekonk Public Library and Seekonk Parks and Recreation are excited to invite the community to participate in ‘Scarecrow Fest,’ a scarecrow-making event for Fall 2025. The program is designed to bring the community together in a creative way while celebrating the fall season.

To participate, starting September 6, individuals and families are invited to register to reserve a free at-home scarecrow building kit. Kits can be picked up starting September 20 and will contain stakes to build a basic frame as well as hay for stuffing. Individuals and families will provide their own clothing and personal touches to make their scarecrow truly unique. Completed scarecrows will be brought to Seekonk Library on Saturday, October 4 where they will be placed on display on the library’s front lawn for the community to view through the end of October. Throughout the month, the community will vote for their favorite scarecrows in three categories: Traditional, Humorous, and Artistic

“We are thrilled to launch this new program as a way to engage the community in a hands-on,
creative activity that celebrates the fall season,” said event organizers. “With categories like
Traditional, Humorous, and Artistic, there’s a chance for everyone to showcase their creativity and have an enjoyable time. We’re looking forward to seeing the library lawn transformed into a display of local talent.”
