A-Wreath-of-Franklin Stories of the Season Join the collaborative efforts of the Franklin Cultural Council, Franklin Cultural District, Businesses of Franklin, and the Department of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy for the inaugural wreath display program, “A-Wreath-of-Franklin,” celebrating the rich traditions of the town of Franklin.

For this community celebration, we see wreaths as a beautiful symbol of the care and connection that binds us together. Their unbroken circular shape reminds us of the continuous cycle of giving and supporting one another through every season. Just as each wreath is carefully crafted, our traditions and acts of kindness weave together to create a stronger, more united community. We invite you, our Franklin community to participate by decorating a wreath reflecting what you believe, “Stories of the Season” means to you! 

Once the wreaths have been created our volunteers will match the wreath with a local business located in the Downtown/Cultural District area. Wreaths will be placed in windows, and with QR code signs enabling our community to vote for their ‘fan favorite!’ Example of the voting platform here: https://form.jotform.com/242465376017155
