Christmas Events

Hello Everyone!

Click here for a link to the happenings in December for our area!

Here is more from the City of Franklin:

City Tree Lighting Ceremony on December 2nd

Christmas Parade scheduled for December 5th at 2 PM

Franklin, TN – The Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony for the City of Franklin will

be held on Wednesday, December 2nd at 6 PM at City Hall. Entertainment will be

provided by the Liberty Elementary School chorus, under the direction of Mr.

Bobby Vines, and Miss Tennessee USA, Tucker Nichol Perry of Franklin.

The 20-ft spruce is a pre-lit artificial tree which is expected to last ten years. The

City chose to use an artificial tree due to the significant cost savings over a live tree.

“For the first time, we’ve decided to use an artificial tree for the Community’s

Christmas Tree,” stated Eric Stuckey, City Administrator. “Our savings over cutting

and decorating a live tree made the artificial tree much more feasible. And we’ll be

able use this tree over the next few years which will increase those cost savings.”

The Franklin Christmas Parade, sponsored by the Cool Springs Kiwanis Club will

be held on December 5th at 2 PM. The Parade travels down Hwy 96 W to Third

Avenue and proceeds down Main Street to West Main Street and ends at Jim

Warren Park. For more information on the parade, or to enter, please visit
