Follow the rows and rows of over 100 scarecrows lined along downtown Glen Ellyn during "Scarecrow Rows," a free family-friendly and socially distant outside event from Oct. 21-31.

Join the fun and see the handmade scarecrows created by Scout troops, community members, local businesses, and non-profits.

Explore the autumn attire and gifts from unique one-of-a-kind storefronts with their decorated windows. Dine the autumn specials at one of our many restaurants or pick up a Scarecrow Row Grab 'n Go as you meander the tree-lined streets. Please follow the one-way route, come wearing a mask and remain socially distant between groups. No tickets are needed.

"The mission for Scarecrow Rows is to highlight all the amazing community groups and businesses who have come together to make the scarecrows and for visitors and residents alike to experience our quaint downtown by shopping at our diverse retail stores and dining our vibrant restaurant scene," said Dawn Smith, executive director of the Glen Ellyn Chamber of Commerce.

"With COVID-19, the chamber created a new event to be socially distant and family friendly, while showcasing our businesses. We were surprised by the popularity of the event drawing in over 100 scarecrows. People are looking for something to do for the Halloween holiday that is safe, fun and unique. We are proud to provide Scarecrow Rows!" Smith added.

Maps are available from all sponsoring businesses and online.

Maps will show a one-way route, scarecrow locations with coordinating sponsors. The route will start near Barone's Restaurant, 475 Pennsylvania Ave., and end near Blackberry Market located at 401 N. Main St. Please follow the route, come wearing a mask and remain socially distant between groups.

Free parking is available at the village's "Park by the Path" program. Use the map as a resource in helping locate convenient parking in the downtown. For the most up to date information visit www.GlenEllynChamber.com/Halloween and www.facebook.com/GlenEllynChamberofCommerce/.
