Franklin’s Annual Christmas Parade

🎄 A beloved holiday tradition, the Franklin Christmas Parade brings joy and sparkle to downtown on the Sunday after Thanksgiving! Gather along Main Street as the town comes alive with twinkling lights, cheerful music, and festive floats decked out for the season. 🎅

The parade begins on Church Street, entering Main Street through Town Hall’s parking lot before continuing down Franklin’s charming downtown. The route winds past the shops and restaurants of Main Street, turns left onto Porter Street at the Lazy Hiker, then heads down Palmer Street, ending at the Highlands Road intersection.

From fire trucks and classic cars to creative floats, local groups, and jolly walkers spreading holiday cheer, it’s a celebration that truly captures the spirit of the season in the Smoky Mountains. 🎁✨
