  • Glocester Scarecrow Festival - Head to Glocester, RI for the annual Scarecrow Festival on October 14 to view the many scarecrows that will line Main Street. It is truly something to see as many of the scarecrows are quite clever. Throughout the day you can listen to live music, partake in activities for the kids, enjoy great food from local food trucks and visit the marketplace and the many shops along Route 44.  Don't forget your camera, you'll want to get photos to share.
