The Franklin Chamber of Commerce announced that plans are underway for the Annual Christmas Parade, which will officially ring in the holiday season. The celebration will take place at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 30. 

The parade lineup will form along Church Street behind the Courthouse, with the route starting at the top of Town Hill beside Town Hall. From there, the parade will proceed down Main Street, turn left at Lazy Hiker Brewing Company onto Porter Street, then left onto Palmer Street and will conclude at the intersection of Highlands Road and Main Street.

Parade participants are once again welcome to have walkers alongside their floats to hand out candy. However, candy may not be thrown from moving vehicles for safety reasons. Additionally, all horses must wear manure bags (horse diapers) during the event.

Registration is required for all entries. Entry forms are available at the Franklin Chamber of Commerce, located at 98 Hyatt Road. Completed forms must be submitted by 4 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 26.

For more information, please contact the Franklin Chamber of Commerce at 828.524.3161.
