Admission is free. Select activities the day of the event do cost money to participate. There is parking around the BSU campus and the event is within walking distance from the center of town.

The money raised by the BBA through our annual events support Town of Bridgewater charities which assists resident families in Bridgewater throughout the year. These funds become especially important during the holidays and winter heating season. Since 2005, the BBA has donated over $75,000 and helped more than 300 Bridgewater residents. By supporting AutumnFest 2012, the BBA can continue to raise funds for the community during these tough economic times.

If you are unable to volunteer or attend, but would still like to help the BBA, donations are always appreciated. There are numerous costs that go into producing a large event like AutumnFest. As they are a non-profit organization and this is their biggest fundraiser of the year, they would welcome any and all donations.

This event is held rain or shine. In case of bad weather, the event will be held in the BSU Ballroom, Campus Center.
