"A Wreath of Franklin" scheduled to return Dec 13, 2025

That’s right—planning is already underway for this year’s winter arts and culture favorite, A-Wreath-of-Franklin! Join us this December as we celebrate seasonal festivities and community cheer. Details below…

The second annual “A-Wreath-of-Franklin” Festival promises to be bigger, happier and more celebratory than ever! 

"A Wreath of Franklin" scheduled to return Dec 13, 2025

With the theme “Franklin Welcomes the World” we do hint at soccer fans from across the globe visiting Franklin in 2026 but, we hope the theme means more than that. 

As America prepares to celebrate our 250th in 2026, we celebrate how Franklin is a community of immigrants from Europe, Asia, South America, North America, Africa and Australia from countries too numerous to list,”.

Plan to participate by decorating your wreath celebrating the theme “Franklin Welcomes the World.” 

Mark your calendars; Saturday, December 13th! There will be singing, dancing, art, crafts, special food items, holiday inspired beverages for all ages and of course festive wreaths decorated by Franklinites and our friends. The Franklin community gathering in festive holiday spirit will create holiday FUN for everyone." John Ristaino, Franklin Cultural Council Chair

Thank you to all of our volunteers, wreath creators and businesses who participated in making this inaugural event a community effort.
