The Franklin Wine Festival features more than 300 wines, samples from Middle Tennessee’s best restaurants, an artisan Biergarten, a silent auction, and live entertainment on multiple stages, including the crowning of the new King and Queen of the Vines. The funds raised by the Franklin Wine Festival events will be used to serve more children in Middle Tennessee with a mentor through Big Brothers Big Sisters programs. Children with a mentor make better, safer choices in life which in turn reduces crime, improves graduation rates, and lays the groundwork for an overall economic benefit to the Middle Tennessee community.

Now in its 17th year, the run is designed for families as well as serious runners wanting a certified course to train for longer races. Last year, 3324 trotters competed in the event, the largest stand-alone 5K in Middle Tennessee.
The 5K, which is run on a USATF certified course, will begin at 8 a.m. at the D1 Campus, 7115 S. Springs Dr., just south of CoolSprings Galleria. Participants run or walk throughout the Cool Springs area. The Fun Run for ages 9 and younger starts at 9 a.m.

The cost increases to $40 from Nov. 1-20. Registration Nov. 22 and 23 is at D1 Sports, and the cost goes to $45. The price for the Fun Run is $10.
GraceWorks was founded in 1995 by a group of local residents and faith leaders looking to find a way to provide immediate and long-term resources to our neighbors in need.
The community-wide event raises money for GraceWorks, which provides immediate and long-term resources for Williamson County families in need. In 2016, GraceWorks served families a total of 46,665 times with help valued at $5.2 million. More than $1.6 million was distributed in food alone.
