Five Points Franklin Market – Post Pilgrimage Market now on Thursday, October 3rd
It’s a real bummer, but we’ve decided that in light of the incoming storm system from Hurricane Helene, it’s best to CANCEL this evening’s September 26, Pre-Pilgrimage Market. Even though the storm isn’t supposed to get here until around 6pm, there’s just no way of knowing how severe the wind conditions will be before or after the storm arrives, not to mention that all of our vendors and customers would likely get drenched either way.
The good news is that we have POSTPONED today’s market to Thursday, October 3rd from 4:00pm-8:00pm. Please make plans to join us on October 3rd at Five Points Franklin Market!

Kick off the Pilgrimage Music weekend with family-friendly market in Downtown Franklin!
