Pilgrimage
This weekend, the 10th anniversary of the Pilgrimage Festival is taking place in Franklin. Tickets are still available! The festival features performances by Dave Mathews Band, Hozier, Noah Kahan, NeedtoBreathe, Myles Smith, and More. When performances wrap and the lights come back on at 10pm each night, guests can conveniently walk back into the heart of downtown Franklin, within walking distance from the Park at Harlinsdale, to imbibe the best of the townâs bars and restaurants, retail shops, and great weekend lineups of nighttime shows and events.

Dinner Under the Stars
When the long-awaited pedestrian bridge over the Harpeth River opened this summer at the Park at Harlinsdale Farm, it opened a critical connection to Bicentennial Park and miles of trails and sidewalks. Now it will become the site of a special dinner for 200 under the stars in support of Friends of Franklin Parksâ Fund for the Preservation of Open Spaces. The event will be October 15th and will feature live music, cocktails, and dinner.
Presented by INFINITI, the first-year event is chaired by John and Marianne Schroer and will honor the many contributions of Julian Bibb, a longtime leader in parkland acquisition and connectivity and Friends of Franklin Parksâ Trails and Greenways Committee.
Bibb was instrumental in the City of Franklin applying for the grant for multimodal connectivity projects through the Tennessee Department of Transportation, which made the pedestrian bridge possible. John Schroer, a former city alderman and mayor of Franklin, was Tennesseeâs commissioner of transportation at the time.
The event is limited to 200 attendees, and tickets are $250 per person. A special VIP ticket for $500 per person includes a private reception and tour of the recently restored Hayes House at Harlinsdale before the main event.
