Take a Drive to the Cambria Scarecrow Festival

The Cambria Scarecrow Festival has been a yearly tradition in Cambria since 2009. This festival began with merely 30 scarecrows; today, there are about 300 scarecrows around Cambria Village and stretching out to San Simeon. Each year they have a large display between the Santa Rosa Catholic Church and the Cambria Veterans Hall to represent each year; for the 2024 festival the display represented the 15 years of this ongoing tradition. 

Not only is there a wide spread of scarecrows around Cambria Village, but some of these are not the stereotypical scarecrows. There are pedaling, dancing, and even singing scarecrows which are definitely the main attraction to all. The community does their best each year to put on this popular festival. It takes hard work, precision, dedication, and patience to make and display as many scarecrows as the community does. Most of these creators are local business workers, artists, students, and volunteers who like to contribute as well. This year's sponsors were James and Elaine Levin Anderson. Along with the following businesses Cambria Nursery and Florist and Moonstone Beach Bar and Grill.
