Beyond admiring artwork, festival attendees will enjoy live performances by local students throughout the day. These performances include musical acts and theatrical presentations, providing entertainment while inspiring young visitors to explore different artistic mediums. The festival creates a supportive environment where children can see their peers sharing talents, helping to build confidence in their creative abilities and potentially discovering new interests.
This community celebration thrives on collaboration, with opportunities for families to get involved beyond attendance. Festival organizers are seeking volunteers to help ensure the event runs smoothly. Those interested should contact the Parks Programming office to learn about available roles. Helping young artists at craft stations, assisting with setup, or guiding families through the festival grounds, volunteers play an essential role in creating this special day.
The event’s success is made possible through support from local organizations dedicated to enriching Franklin’s children’s lives. Sponsors including Big Blue Marble Academy, Dreams Do Come True Princess Parties, Academy Child Development, Williamson County Parks and Recreation, and the Williamson Herald have pooled resources to ensure this community tradition continues. Their commitment demonstrates the strong community bonds that make Franklin a special place to raise a family, with businesses and organizations working together to provide enriching experiences for the next generation.
