While Nashville Guru typically focuses on events within a few miles of Downtown Nashville, some festivals in Downtown Franklin must be mentioned. The Dickens of a Christmas festival is completely worth the 20-minute drive! Every December, the town square and side streets transform into a scene out of a Charles Dickens novel. This free, family-friendly holiday festival features street performers, Dickens characters, great vendors, and activities for kids.
