Franklin Pride

Franklin Pride TN, established in 2019, holds an annual Pride festival for Williamson County at The Park at Harlinsdale Farm. The sixth annual festival on June 6, 2026 featured local and national entertainers, vendors, food trucks and youth activities. The 2027 festival is set for June 5.

Franklin Pride TN describes its mission as educating, informing and building community for LGBTQIA+ people and allies in Williamson County and the surrounding area, in a social and welcoming setting. Along with the annual festival, the group hosts monthly social events and takes part in other festivals and community events through the year.

Festival tickets have been $5, with advance purchase encouraged to avoid box office lines. Vendors include local businesses from Nashville and Franklin, food and drink vendors, and community booths, and the stage features local and national entertainers. Thousands attended the sixth festival.

Accessibility is built into the layout. At the Harlinsdale Farm site, booths line a paved road that circles the barn, ADA parking sits close to the box office by way of the south entrance, and an accessible ramp leads to a low, shaded viewing platform by the stage. A welcome tent helps with other accommodations, and a north parking lot was opened to ease congestion.

Pride events celebrate LGBTQ+ people and mark the Stonewall uprising of June 1969. Most combine a parade or march with a festival of performers, community groups, vendors and food.

Franklin Pride has included festival, live music, vendors, food trucks and youth activities.

Franklin Pride was first held in 2019.

The next edition is June 5, 2027. It usually falls first Saturday of June.
