The Heritage Ball is Williamson County’s largest and longest running black tie event. This Saturday, September 26, the Heritage Ball will take place at Harlinsdale Park in Franklin.
This year’s theme is “An Evening of Midnight Sun”. Midnight Sun is a famous Tennessee walking horse and was bred at Harlinsdale Farm. Though an invitation only event, is inclusive and open to anyone who would like to attend.
The evening unfolds with cocktails at 7 p.m. and a hearty and fabulous dinner by Kates Catering at 8 p.m. followed by music by The Tyrone Smith Revue.
Tickets to the Heritage Ball are $250 per person and even though invitations are soon to be mailed to the Heritage Foundation members, they are also available by calling 615.591.8500 ext 11 or emailing drogers@historicfranklin.com to request an invitation.
Other important things to note:
Street Tuxedo in Cool Springs is offering a Heritage Ball Tuxedo Special for $79.95. Please call Street Tuxedo at 615.771.0948 to get directions in Cool Springs and reserve your black tie.
Royal Restrooms is returning by popular demand. The ball may be in a field under a tent but restrooms will be air-conditioned, flushable, and the restroom lounges will be decorated to match the elegant event by Jill and Chip Cole, owners of Southern Events in Franklin.
About 60 volunteers will be at Harlinsdale Park days before the ball arranging flowers, placing tables and chairs, dropping linens, focusing lighting, making stages and doing whatever it takes to insure all guests will have an elegant evening that will be remembered for a lifetime.
A portion of the cost of $250 per person is tax deductible. All proceeds from the Ball benefit the work of the 42 year-old Heritage Foundation, a non-profit organization whose mission is to protect and preserve the architectural, geographic and cultural heritage of Franklin and Williamson County and to promote the ongoing revitalization of downtown Franklin in the context of historic preservation.
