FRANKLIN ON THE FOURTH

Each year, on the 4th of July, the Franklin Lions Club presents Franklin on the Fourth. It is a celebration of the freedom we have enjoyed since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This year events are scheduled on July 4th AND July 5th!

The Lions Club joins with the City of Franklin, and our sponsors each year, to bring quality entertainment to Franklin, usually presented on the town square.

At the end of a day of celebration the City presents a fireworks display, which has been growing in popularity each year. Thousands of viewers come to observe the display.
