Pumpkinfest in Downtown Franklin

Franklin closes Main Street and hands it over to the largest family fall festival in Middle Tennessee. The 41st edition expands to two days, which is a genuine relief if you have ever tried to do the whole thing in one afternoon with a stroller.

When: Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25, 2026, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days
Where: Main Street, downtown Franklin

Costumes are the norm rather than the exception. Park farther out than feels necessary and walk in — the closer lots fill early, and the walk down Main is half the point.
