The Response for Franklin's PorchFest continues to grow

Franklin's PorchFest Committee is pleased to share that the number of participants and hosts has exceeded our expectations and the numbers continue to grow.  We are up to 40 bands and over 26 porch locations, including many throughout the Dean College campus.
No band?  
No porch?  
NO PROBLEM!!!  
Get in on the fun by signing up on our website to volunteer.  There are numerous ways you can help.  

1 - Anyone interested can go to our website and select the tab for Volunteer Signup and fill out the form.  Go to  Franklin.PorchFest.Info.

2 - Another way to help out is by supporting our local merchants as you enjoy Franklin PorchFest on June 1, 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM.  Between band performances, you can shop our independent Franklin businesses.  

3 - Enjoy a lunch from one of Franklin's food venues, and have a picnic while enjoying some great music.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to listen to great music and connect with Franklin's cultural community.
