CoolSprings Crafts and Art Festival

Why a shopping mall? CoolSprings Galleria has more than 900,000 square feet of space and is anchored by Macy’s, Sears, Belk, Dillard’s and J.C. Penny. The event being held in the mall’s climate controlled common areas and parking lot places sellers with determined and impulse shoppers. The mall total common area of space is equivalent to ten city blocks. Shoppers can enjoy ample free parking and free admission to all the weekend’s events. This leaves each individual shopper more dollars to spend on products from participating artisans. CoolSprings Galleria is located at 1800 Galleria Boulevard, Franklin, TN, 37067.
