FranklinWhat A local's calendar for Franklin & the Nantahala

September to Thanksgiving

Fall festivals.

Fall is when Franklin's calendar fills up. The county fair opens the season in September, PumpkinFest takes over Main Street in October, and the Gemboree lands as the leaves peak. Most Saturdays until Thanksgiving there's a festival in town or within an hour of it.

This page does two jobs. The first list is what's actually on the calendar this fall, pulled from the same feed as the home page, so it's current. The second is the every-year ones, so you can plan past this weekend.
