JAMES CITY COUNTY, Va. — Bluegrass music, hayrides and "scarecrow stuffing" mark the return of James City County's Harvest Festival.
This year, the free festival will be held on Sept. 17 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Bring $5 to park your car, though.
Down at the Chickahominy Riverfront Park, there will be lots of entertainment for children, like face painting, crafts, inflatables and a petting zoo.
Parents might like the live music from Code Blue, who will play that Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Remember to bring a lawn chair to enjoy the show.
As a heads-up, the scarecrow attraction will cost money. The supplies to make one cost $20, but the festival will accept that by cash or check.
"Come make the biggest, the best, and maybe the only scarecrow in your neighborhood," organizers wrote.
If the weather looks bad, this event could have to be canceled. You can call the Activities Hotline (757-259-3232) to learn about any schedule changes ahead of the event.
