To the Town of Franklin:
When we started coordinating this event -- the annual July 4 Festival -- back in 2017, we wanted to add talented local, regional, national and international musicians to the celebration. This year we have a amazing total of 23 bands over the five day event (including the Blues Festival)!
If you missed the first two days we still have Franklin favorites like Jamie Barrett, the Padula Family Band, and several members of the Beantown Swing Orchestra that hail from Franklin - all performing on Sunday.
We have added new acts to the celebration like Full Circle (from Western MA) and Jeff Pitchell (CT) on Friday night and Dave Fields (NYC) on Sunday.
The 6th Annual Franklin Blues Festival features 8 bands, many of which have performed all over the world, including Richiman and Groove Nice, who are visiting us from South Korea, fresh off of their European Tour.
All of the music is free. Bring your lawn chair to the Town Common and if you like the music please DONATE so that we can keep the music playing!
