We are a "GO" with the Franklin Porchfest event this Saturday!  This outdoor music event that will be held on Saturday, June 7 from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

Come spend the day in Franklin’s beautiful Cultural District while listening to live music. Musicians and bands of all genres will be performing on porches and patios throughout the district. This walkable event is also the perfect opportunity to check out our local shops and restaurants. 

Franklin PorchFest is made possible with investment funds granted from the Mass Cultural Council through the Franklin Cultural District Committee and the Town of Franklin. 

• Notes from the Porchfest Planning Crew The event is totally free, listen to as many bands are you like - there is no cost. The only thing we ask is that you attend as many performances as you can and bring a chair or a blanket to enjoy the performance.

• In the event the June 7 date is rained out, the Franklin PorchFest will be moved to Sunday, June 8  from 12 – 6 PM. In the event of cancellation, we will update the Porchfest website to reflect this no later than by 6:00 PM the night before the scheduled event date.
