Autumn Skies & Pumpkin Pies begins at 4:00 PM and runs approximately 2 hours, including intermission. Doors open at 3:00 PM – arrive early, settle in, and let the afternoon unfold.

The Chambers Grant Salon is located in the basement of the Ellie Caulkins Opera House at the Denver Arts Complex, 980 14th St, Denver, CO 80202.

The Arts Complex Garage (entrances on 13th St and Arapahoe St) is the most convenient option, with over 1,700 spaces and direct access to the Ellie on Level 3. Event parking runs approximately $18; pre-purchasing online guarantees your spot and saves time.

Additional parking is available at the Colorado Convention Center Garage across Champa Street. Take the Z elevators to street level, cross at the signal, and follow 13th Street to the DPAC.

Prefer to leave the car behind? Check the RTD website for public transit schedules. Note that the light rail lines near the theater complex are out of service right now during construction.

Doors open at 3:00 PM – we encourage you to arrive early. 

Box Office agents are available at the door beginning at 3:00 PM to assist with any ticketing questions.

Out of respect for your fellow audience members and our musicians, we ask that everyone be seated before the 4:00 PM curtain time.

Tickets are available at mhfb.us/events.
