Significant streetscape work is planned for downtown Franklin during summer 2015. The Cultural District Committee hopes to have a better understanding of space restrictions resulting from construction sometime during the month of April. At that time it should be able to specifically name the available spaces for events and performances.

The Franklin Cultural Festival Committee will supervise and facilitate the performances and fine arts/culinary arts events from Wednesday, July 29 to Sunday, August 2. Individuals, businesses, and organizations may wish to have events/performances before or after the Festival dates. 

While the Festival Committee’s work is limited to these five (5) days, it will include other cultural events/performances in program materials. To be included in the Festival, as well as in the program materials, the information needs to follow the submission guidelines and all information needs to be submitted by April 17, 2015 at 5:00 PM.

Applications to participate in the fine arts, performing arts, or culinary arts events associated with the Festival may be obtained from the Cultural District Steering Committee members or requested by email. 

The Franklin Cultural District Steering Committee includes: Alan Mercer, Roberta Trahan, Sue Sheridan, Jim Schultz, and Pandora Carlucci. If you would like to receive a copy of the participation application packet, please email the Cultural District Steering Committee at franklinculturaldistrict@gmail.com
