🐝 Christmas Events Galore

Greetings Franklin,

If you’re not in the Christmas spirit yet, just go walk through downtown Franklin this weekend.

We have the 39th Annual Dickens of a Christmas taking place Saturday and Sunday. Many have said that this is the most magical weekend of the year to experience Downtown Franklin.

Other than that, there are only a few other Christmas activities: Candy Cane hunts, Christmas plays, Christmas markets, Christmas parades, Christmas movies, and Santa events.

‘Tis the season…

39th Annual Dickens of a Christmas
Dickens of a Christmas recreates the time of Charles Dickens using historic downtown Franklin’s charming architecture as the backdrop. A variety of musicians, dancers and Dickens characters will fill the streets. Expect to see and interact with the nefarious Fagin from Oliver Twist; Jacob Marley, Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim and the rest of the Cratchit family from A Christmas Carol; and of course, a Victorian Father and Mother Christmas with treats for children. The festival is produced by the Heritage Foundation of Williamson County. All Downtown Franklin merchants will be open and celebrating with specials, features and promotions for enhanced shopping, dining and entertainment throughout the historic district.

Meridian Cool Springs Welcomes Two New Businesses
Meridian Cool Springs, the mixed-use district off Carothers Parkway, continues to grow with the addition of Alloy Personal Training and First National Bank of Middle Tennessee (FNBMT).

Alloy is currently welcoming clients to its first Franklin location. For more than 30 years, Alloy has combined cutting-edge science with real, in-the-trenches experience for the maximum fitness results in the least amount of time. Alloy invites people of all fitness levels to take advantage of their customized personal training system.

First National Bank of Middle Tennessee is a community bank, Member FDIC and Equal Housing Lender, with more than 150 years of community banking and service. FNBMT provides communities with full-service personal and business banking products and services, mortgage banking services and many other products offered by financial institutions. The bank had its grand opening on December 10th and is currently serving customers.

Both additions come during a period of evolution for Meridian Cool Springs. Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream recently opened near the district’s entrance at Meridian Boulevard and Carothers Parkway. The beloved ice cream shop is dishing out more than 48 fresh flavors across from the future home of Little Hats Italian Market, which is expected to open in early 2025. The two eateries are connected by a 5,000-square-foot public green space called The Green.
