Faith Finders Fall Festival

  • Capitol Hill United Methodist Church 421 Seward Square SE Washington United States (map)

If you are looking for a cozy, low-stress afternoon where your kids can play safely and you can actually hang out and enjoy a conversation with other parents, our annual Fall Festival is the place to be!

We will transform our parking lot into a neighborhood fall block party. It’s small, sweet, and the perfect opportunity for our church community and neighbors to simply be together and celebrate the season.

Want to Help Build the Fest?

If you love tangible tasks, interacting with our neighborhood kids, or baking up a storm, this is the perfect spot for you. Our annual Fall Festival runs on the joy and energy of our faithful helpers!

Whether you have just an hour to give or want to stay for the whole party, we have a short, high-impact, and low-pressure way for you to serve:

  • 🚧 Setup Crew (3:00 PM): If you love behind-the-scenes work, join us early to pop up tents, hang fall decorations, and arrange the carnival games before the kids arrive.

  • 🎪 Station Leaders (3:30 PM): Bring the energy! You will get to run a fun, simple carnival game or craft table during the main event.

  • 🧹 Cleanup Crew (6:00 PM): Many hands make light work. Help us pack up the fun and leave the grounds looking spotless when the party wraps up.

  • 🍪 The Bakery Brigade: Can't be there in person? You can still help! Drop off deliciously homemade or conveniently store-bought treats (must be nut-free and individually portioned) to fuel the fun.
