Scarecrow Contest
October 1, 2025 - October 31, 2025
Every year in October, the businesses of downtown Benicia battle it out in the Annual Scarecrow Contest. This is not your average scarecrow competition. Benicia is home to one of the largest artist communities in the Bay Area, and the creativity of Benicia business owners is next level.
Visitors are invited to stroll along First Street to marvel at this year’s scarecrow creations and vote for their favorite, while enjoying the unique shopping, delicious dining, and memorable activities that Benicia has to offer. Pick up a ballot at Benicia Main Street or any participating businesses.
Scarecrows will be on display through Oct. 31st.
