Free Easter Fun Comes to The Factory at Franklin on April 18th

Families are invited to celebrate Easter at The Factory at Franklin on Friday, April 18, 2025, with two free and engaging activities designed for kids of all ages. The event highlights The Factory’s continued role as a hub for community connection, creativity, and family fun.
From 12 pm to 2 pm, the Easter Bunny will be available for free photo opportunities in the Grand Hall. Families can stop by for a quick picture or take time to explore the many shops and eateries throughout The Factory during their visit.
Families can also enjoy The Story Booth, open from 10 am to 5 pm. This hands-on, interactive storytelling experience invites children to step into a whimsical landscape made of cardboard, roll oversized dice to receive unique story prompts, and then record their own audio story inside the booth! It’s a creative, imagination-driven activity that offers something a little different from the usual Easter egg hunt.
The Story Booth is hosted by local author, children’s advocate, and former librarian Anna Skates, who helps bring this experience to life in a way that encourages kids to dream big and share their voices.
Both events take place in The Grand Hall at The Factory at Franklin and are free and open to the public—no registration is required. These family-friendly activities are a great way to enjoy the season while experiencing the lively atmosphere of one of Franklin’s most beloved gathering spaces.
