FREE Events

Autumn Leaves offers an oasis from a world too full of judgment, a city too full of fracture. Hosted by a pair of young leaders, each event presents 7 "leaves" sharing from the heart, one or more performing youth art groups, and a featured writer and artist. Join us as we come together in diverse and caring fellowship, where who you are and what you bring is honored, welcome, and always enough.

All events are free and take place at AREA 405—no reservations required.

Dates are as follows: "Poplar" 9/20, 4pm; "Birch" 9/30, 6pm; "Oak" 10/5, 4pm; "Ash" 10/9, 6pm; "Chestnut" 10/14, 6pm; "Maple" 10/18, 4pm; and "Sycamore" 11/2, 4pm.

Come to one event, or come to them all: each is its own rich experience.

Parking Information

Due to limited demand, we no longer will offer valet parking for the events! There is an abundance of good street parking on Oliver Street, Federal Street one block north, and in the surrounding blocks. You may also choose to visit this link for parking garages in walking distance from Area 405.
