Follen hosts many events throughout the year. For decades, we have hosted the East Village Fair and our Christmas Tree lot, both of which are also fundraisers for Follen. In the spring, we have a Goods and Services Auction, with an online component as well as a fun in-person event! All of these events are organized by dedicated teams of volunteers.

Major Community Events

East Village Fair – In October, Follen hosts an annual fall festival, held with our friends at Waldorf School, Wilson Farm, and others.

Christmas Tree Lot – In December, Follenites set up and sell Christmas trees, honoring a tradition established by our founder, Charles Follen.

Goods and Services Auction – In spring, we hold a major fundraiser with a silent and live auction and lots of fun fellowship.
