Light-Up Night is only the beginning in Franklin

Light-Up Night is only the start of the holiday happenings in Franklin.
​
A Christmas Walk in the Park will feature 15-16 trees placed around Fountain Park. Volunteers started putting up today and with a goal of having them decorated fully decorated by the weekend. 

On Friday, December 2, Santa will be coming back to town. That evening, the jolly fellow will hitch a ride on the fire engine and make his way through the city’s neighborhoods. He is slated to leave the Franklin Fire Department at 6 p.m.
​A map of his intended path will be posted on the city’s Facebook page.

The Franklin Retail Association will be holding its Old Fashioned Christmas for Kids from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on December 3.
​There will be a scavenger hunt, crafts, games, face painting, and Santa and Mrs. Claus.
The events will be held throughout the downtown business district.

Also, that weekend, the original holiday production “A Barrow Christmas Card,” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. December 3 and 2 p.m. December 4 at the Barrow-Civic Theatre.
​The theatre’s Christmas Tree Extravaganza will be available for viewing whenever the lobby is open. ​​

The Barrow-Civic Theatre will host its indoor Christmas Tree Extravaganza through the end of the year. Stop down anytime the theatre is open to check out about 50 trees decorated by businesses, non-profits, schools and other groups. Plus through the New Year just a drive down Liberty Street toward the courthouse at night is almost a holiday event all in itself.
