The Cambria Scarecrow Festival invites you to join us in celebrating our tenth annual display of whimsy coming this October. We’ve put together an eclectic set of intriguing opportunities to learn, explore and sample the Central Coast. Each is an individually ticketed event to experience something new and at the same time support the mission of the Festival. Look through this booklet. Select an event or two you want to attend. Go online and book as many tickets as you need. Then have fun! And thanks for your support!

A Guided Tour to Cambria’s Hidden Gem—the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve
A dramatic ocean bluff. One of the last remaining natural stands of Monterey Pine. Tidal pools and freshwater wetlands. An amazing array of mammal (sea and land), birds and reptiles. Reminders of former Native American villages. You truly need a guide to appreciate the treasures of the Fiscalini Ranch. Join us for a continental breakfast in the home of Tom and Barbara Gray, adjacent to a Ranch entrance, before joining a docent on a guided two-hour introductory hike which will introduce you to some of the preserve’s hidden delights.

An Evening of Food and Wine in the Historic Squibb House
Bruce Black restored the Squibb House in the East Village of Cambria years ago. Now he has recreated the original barn built on this site in the late 1800s and detailed it with wood from the Pennsylvania barn of his great-great-grandfather, Matha Black. The space features barn wood beams, wide plank floors, custom built Amish furniture, generous windows, lots of light and a charm that is unlike anything else. And the evening will become even more charming as you delight in an array of tapas prepared by Susan Bassetti—all designed for a perfect pairing with a vertical tasting of Bassetti Vineyards wines.
- Thursday, September 13, 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm

AN AFTERNOON FEATURING WINE, FOOD AND GAMES.
Imagine enjoying a glass of wine and tasty snacks in a beautiful seaside home located on five acres a few miles north of Cambria. Throw in a little mystery as you get creatively divided into small teams on a unique treasure hunt. And there’s a prize at the end of the journey, including the potential to take home a magnum of wine from one of the area’s highest regarded vineyards. But don’t worry, everyone wins with the food, drink and setting at this great afternoon of fun. It will be a very special way to kick off the 2018 Cambria Scarecrow Festival!
