DAYS OF AWE LIVE STREAM

PARKING

For directions to BHA visit here. BHA's parking is limited and fills up quickly; we ask that those who are able to please reserve our parking lot for those who are unable.  If you can walk safely and comfortably, please consider parking in town at municipal lots,  a map of street parking & municipal lots can be viewed here.

ACCESSIBILITY

Access to our 100 year-old building can be challenging for some.  The BHA lot will have reserved spots for accessibility, and we have a ramp from the parking lot to the main entrance.  Inside we have a chair lift for those who cannot climb the stairs to the sanctuary.  We are striving to provide assistance as needed, letting us know ahead of time is helpful.  Please fill out this form if you or your guests require additional assistance.
