Williamson County Chamber: Bluegrass Along The Harpeth Festival Returns To Historic Franklin

Press release from Williamson County Chamber:

July 9, 2021

Always held the 4th weekend in July, Bluegrass Along the Harpeth was started in 1990 and has made its home on the Franklin town square. This year the event will take place on Friday, July 23rd and Saturday, July 24th

The historic backdrop is the perfect place for a weekend of music in honor of Franklin’s own Grand Ole Opry stars Sam and Kirk McGee. This festival is put on and operated by old time musicians and dancers. It’s their love for the music and its preservation that make this festival special and a not-to-be-missed event every year.  ​

Friday night they have some of the best bluegrass bands around for a relaxing evening and end to the work week. On Saturday, you will find some of the best musicians anywhere competing in individual instruments and band contests. In addition to all of the music, there are food and craft vendors that are sure to have something to satisfy a sweet tooth or be that one-of-a-kind gift you have been wanting. ​​

This free event will be fun for the whole family. All proceeds will benefit the Williamson County Cultural Arts Commission.
