Harvest Festival - September

As the Partnership’s largest annual event, more than 150 booths and attractions will be on Main Street, Dean Ave., West Central Street, Depot Street, and the parking area behind Rockland Bank. Live music, food court, kids’ activities – there’s something for everyone.

Winter Decorating - November

Whether it’s spring beautification in May or winter decorating in November, our community steps up and volunteers to clean out garden beds, then plant new flowers and greens for the seasons.

Ladybug Trail Spring Walk - April

The Ladybug Trail Spring Walk is the chance to celebrate spring and walk around downtown Franklin in search of the ladybugs tucked among the storefronts. Walkers and visitors are invited to stop at one of the many restaurants along the trail for lunch or dinner during the day.
