Community Engagement on the Town Common & Haywood Manor Beer Garden Overview
Types of Community Engagement:
Vendors
- Vendors participate to sell goods or services directly to the public at events on the Town Common or at Haywood Manor.
- Examples include: food trucks, retail vendors, artisans selling handmade goods, or small businesses offering products.
Community Partners
- Community partners pay for a space to host an activity, demonstrate their mission, or engage the public—not to sell products.
- Examples include: local nonprofits, arts organizations, cultural associations, youth programs, educational groups, or civic clubs.
Fee Information
- Vendor and community partner fees will vary based on the type of participation.
- Fees and official registration will be published on the Town of Franklin website by March 1st.
Fee Purpose
Vendor and community partner fees help cover essential event costs; including the FIFA public viewing license required to stream the matches legally, as well as police/security details for the events.
Special Note – Farmers Market Vendors
Vendors already approved for the Franklin Farmers Market may participate in community engagement events without paying an additional fee. DACCE will coordinate with market staff to ensure vendor placement, setup times, and operations align with both market and watch party activities.
