The town has been very supportive of our winery and it’s great to see them allowing food trucks and a beer/wine tent. Our award winning wines are produced and bottled in Franklin with grapes sourced from California and Chile. It is our mission to work with all organizations in town with efforts in supporting the community. We are honored to take part in ArtWeek, especially in the town we call home." says Bob Vozzella, owner of La Cantina Winery and one of this year's festival sponsors.

Update from Town of Franklin:
"A three-month water main replacement project will get underway next week, potentially affecting traffic downtown.
The project will affect Hillside and Dean avenues. Town Engineer Mike Maglio said work will be conducted from Ray Street to just past Hillside Road. There’s another section that will be replaced off Hillside Road from School Street to Dean Avenue.
“The work on Dean Avenue will have most of the cut-through traffic coming through,” Maglio said. “This is an area that there are enough (alternative) roads that we can detour traffic easily if we need to.”
He said police details will be on hand to direct traffic. If traffic gets too congested, officials will set up a small detour through Emmons Street. He also made clear that detours would be removed each day after construction ends."
