Follow us on Facebook for up-todate information.


Something for Everyone

Old Franklin Day is a celebration that showcases the beautiful Village of Franklin’s proud and rich history with an active, friendly and welcoming community, old-fashioned hospitality, unique local businesses, talented musicians, artists and crafters, delicious handmade and “farm to table” food, and fun activities for kids of all ages. It’s a good time for the whole family!

Shop Local

To date, we have over 45 local artists, crafters and vendors signed up. If you’re looking for that special antique, artwork, artisanal glass, pottery, ceramic ware or woodcraft, along with home décor, clothing, jewelry, and accessories, this is the place. Make a memory with a special photo by Annadale Farms Photography.

Handmade Treats

Delicious locally made treats, including maple syrup products, baked goods, chocolate and more will be available for sale.

Off Road Maple offers a variety of delicious pure maple products made at the Jordan Family Farm

Boogie with the Bands

Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Tom Morgan and Erna Morgan McReynolds, two popular local bands will perform live. Get ready to party!

Eric Haight’s band, Off the Record, will be performing rock, country and jazz classics from 11 am to 1 pm.

 

Charlie and the Roomers will be playing blues, funk, soul, rock, country and New Orleans music from 2 pm to 4 pm.

Antique and Vintage Fashion Show

Join us in the Franklin Central School auditorium at 1 pm for a fashion show featuring antique and vintage clothing. Take a journey down memory lane as you view historic fashions modeled by some of your local friends and neighbors!

Yum Eats

Twee Dee Treats will have a food truck at Old Franklin Day offering a varied menu with burgers, fries, chicken and more! The Tulip and the Rose will be grilling gyros on site.

Both the Tulip and the Rose and Yokel on Main Street will be open for business all day, with delicious food sourced locally.

Pie Sale

Want pie? We’ll have all your favorites for sale at St. Paul’s Church pie sale at 9 am! Pick up a whole pie (or two . . .or three. . .) for family and friends. Grab a cuppa joe with a slice and visit with neighbors. Go early – pies sell out quickly!

You won’t want to miss St. Paul’s annual pie sale!

Kids’ Activities and More

We will have our popular Bounce House, balloon art, glitter tattoos, make your own sand art, and other kids’ activities. We’re planning other fun happenings, too!
