Franklin Tree Lighting Ceremony to happen December 3rd
The city of Franklin is teaming with Spring Tree Media to light up the square this December 3rd at 6:45 to make the 2015 Christmas tree lighting spectacular! The Freedom Intermediate School Honors Choir, the Centennial High School Chamber Choir, Music City Strings and other surprise guests will make an appearance. This year the event is sponsored by Spring Tree Media, Hyundai of Cool Springs and Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation (MTEMC). New this year, free photos with Santa, sponsored by Williamson Medical Center. Everyone who wants a photo with the man in red will walk away with a free 5 x 7 photo with Franklin’s Santa!
The downtown Franklin Square will be closed for this event so attendees can view the movies and lights projected on the buildings and walk to the tree without worry of traffic. The square will be closed from 5:45–9:00pm.
“Last year was such a fun event with close to 3,000 people in attendance! We are honored to have Hyundai of Cool Springs, Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation and Williamson Medical Center sponsor our activities this year. In addition, Spring Tree media is donating their creative ideas, and services for Franklin families to celebrate our hometown Christmas tree lighting,” said City Administrator Eric Stuckey. “We welcome back Freedom Intermediate and Centennial High School this year and are excited the Music City Strings are joining us as well!”
“The stage will be in the middle of the square this year with the monument and tree in the background. It should be easy for everyone to see the performers and the projected lights on the building! We really want this to be a fun and memorable experience for all who attend and each year we’ll add something new and different, there will be surprises!” said Peter Vaqu
