It’s finally that time of year again, and personally this is my favorite. If you find yourself to be a fellow Vancouverite like myself, then you would know all about Vancouver and its weather. This summer, there were some bright beach or lake days, but it slowly degraded to light downfall, to pouring rain. But now that the summer is in the past, you can look ahead to the exciting season of fall. From pumpkin patches and trick or treating, to boo baskets and even a scarecrow stroll, you have to admit that it’s a pretty relaxing season
With fall officially starting up tomorrow, Sunday September 22nd, there’s many things you can look forward to, but I’m gonna get you thinking about the scarecrow stroll. The Arts Nursery Scarecrow festival begins today and there is plenty for you to do.
The name speaks for itself, so you know that you’ll be seeing plenty of scarecrows with their own dashes of creativity, you can even sponsor a scarecrow to help support and get your name out there and have your very own scarecrow made for you, as well posted on their social media with a collective following over all platforms, of 160,000. Sponsoring a scarecrow doesn’t just help the event, but all funds are directed to local charities that keep this festival on its feet. Check out what it looked like in the past!
When does it start? Good news for you, it starts today and will be ongoing up till Halloween. Where is it? You can visit Art’s Nursery and Garden at 8940 192 Street, Surrey. How much will it cost me? That’s the best part! This festival is a completely free event for all ages.
There even is a pop-up pumpkin patch, with a mini pumpkin patch for the little ones. Not only can you and your family visit, but it’s also a dog-friendly environment, meaning the WHOLE family can enjoy it. Now I know you’re thinking about those rainy days, but the good news for you is that this pumpkin patch is undercover, so no matter the weather, you can visit! Treat your palette to tons of delicious treats by visiting the abundance of food trucks around festival grounds, while also treating your ears to some melodious live music
How could you say no to all that? I can’t resist a good pumpkin patch, even if it’s just to get the cheesy family photos taken. There really is something for everyone, whether it’s enjoying some food and music, or sponsoring a scarecrow, you can’t go wrong. What’s stopping you, go get your perfect pumpkin ASAP.
