The Heritage Foundation of Franklin & Williamson County – Dickens of a Christmas – Downtown Franklin, TN Events

Join us for the largest Christmas festival in Middle Tennessee! Step back in time with the Heritage Foundation of Franklin & Williamson County when Dickens of a Christmas returns to Franklin’s Main Street December 10-11, 2016.

Sponsored this year by Nissan, the 32^nd annual free street festival will recreate the time of Charles Dickens using historic downtown Franklin’s Victorian architecture as the backdrop. Some 200 musicians, dancers and characters will fill the streets, including several from Charles Dickens’s stories. Expect to see and interact with the nefarious Fagin from Oliver Twist; Jacob Marley, Ebenezer Scrooge and Tiny Tim Cratchit with his parents from A Christmas Carol; and of course, a Victorian Father and Mother Christmas with treats for children.

As more attention is turned toward downtown Franklin in both the local and national press, we encourage festival goers to dress in Victorian costume and to add to the ambiance as they stroll the streets.

This year’s event will reprise a crowd favorite from last year: it WILL snow at Dickens of a Christmas! Come decked out in holiday style to capture that perfect family picture.

Producing Dickens of a Christmas is just one of the many activities of The Heritage Foundation of Franklin & Williamson County. Since 1967 the non-profit group has been dedicated to protecting and preserving Williamson County’s historic, architectural and geographic resources; in short, saving the places that matter.

Downtown Franklin, TN Events – Christmas Tree Lighting on the Square

The downtown Franklin Christmas Tree Lighting on the Square is a fun way for the entire family to kick-off the holiday season. The city partners with sponsors and Spring Tree Media group to bring a multi-media extravaganza to the historic downtwon square. The event features children’s choirs from local middle schools, and high schools. In 2015 award winning singer Matthew West performed and there was a surprise appearance from the Opryland Grinch. Hundreds gathered on the square to watch lights and movie clips projected on the historic buildings on the square, and also a dancing light show around the square. A fan favorite was the free photos with Santa on the steps of the historic courthouse.

For more information, please visit Christmas Tree Lighting on the Square.
