Franklin on the Fourth (FOT4), a home town, patriotic festival will celebrate its 15th year in Downtown Franklin again this year. The fun begins at 10 a.m. on Monday, July 4 and features more live entertainment, an expanded children’s area, community bands, and a spectacular fireworks display. The evening’s highlight will be a free concert featuring The Retro Specs, slated to begin on the City Square at 6:30 pm.
Hosted by the Franklin Lions Club and the City of Franklin, the festival features a patriotic costumed Children’s Parade for ages 0 to 13. Registration to participate will be held in front of the Franklin Theatre from 3:00pm – 3:50 pm. The parade begins its march down Main Street at 4:00 pm. Children may also ride decorated non-motorized vehicles in the parade. Best costume prizes will be awarded in each age group.
The festival also features free music and entertainment from 2 stages, a petting zoo, bungee jump, a rock climbing wall, and more. Antique cars will be on display on Main Street towards 4th Avenue. Food and craft vendors will line lower Main Street and circle the City Square.
The Retro Specs highlight the evening festivities with a free concert on the City Square beginning at 6:30 pm. The band of 12 members was formed in 1998 when Disney World came calling with a request for a band to promote a new venue at the park. The band has branched out from their Disney World days to now giving performances around the country. The band now totals 14 talented and professional musicians who perform music from the days of Donna Summer to the Black Eyed Peas of today.
The festivities culminate with a spectacular fireworks display which festival-goers can view from the Park at Harlinsdale among other locations.
Costs of the event are being covered by sponsorships from community-minded businesses with the support of the City of Franklin and the Franklin Lions Club. Presenting sponsors are Vulcan Materials, Williamson Medical Center, WAKM Radio, Lenscrafters, Atmos Energy, Franklin Synergy Bank, Green Bank, TN Commerce Bank, The Factory and Healthways, inc.
