We are so excited to once again host the Bardstown Scarecrow Trail, a seasonal celebration of creativity and community. Returning Sept. 25 through Nov. 6, this free family-friendly event will transform the driveway of The Stephen Foster Story Amphitheater into a colorful showcase of scarecrow displays created by local artists, businesses, schools and community members.
Visitors can enjoy a leisurely drive-thru experience featuring unique and imaginative creations while taking in the creativity, charm and community spirit behind each display. Whether you’re starting a new fall tradition or returning for another year, the Bardstown Scarecrow Trail offers a fun way to celebrate the season and experience the incredible talents of our community.
