While promoting local shopping on this special day, the Downtown Franklin Association will also be supporting additional parking solution this entire holiday season by partnering with The Factory at Franklin and The Franklin Transit Authority to provide FREE transportation for downtown shoppers on Saturdays between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

This festive shuttle is heated and handicap accessible for passengers to take into downtown Franklin from The Factory. It runs in 30-minute shifts between 10am-6pm on Saturdays – November 30th, December 7th, and 21st.

pick up and drop off for the trolley at The Factory

Pick up/drop off’s at The Factory behind the Dark Horse Institute building (see image attached and look for the sandwich board sign) and on Main Street at the Public Square (look for the sign near the city hall bus stop).

The route travels down Main Street from the Factory, takes a right at Five Points and follows either Bridge or North Margin so guests can view the businesses on 2nd, 3rd and 4th Avenues.

Get ready to enjoy a festive holiday season of shopping in downtown Franklin!  You may even enjoy Southern hospitality from one of our Franklin Local volunteers while you’re at it. Thanks for shopping local and supporting our downtown community this holiday season!
