Automated feed, human edit
Five calendars, read every morning, one list.
Before dawn the tracker reads FranklinIs, The Factory, the Heritage Foundation, and the city's festival list, matches duplicates across them, drops anything with a Nashville, Brentwood, or Nolensville address, and files the rest by day. Franklin and south only. Events at The Factory carry a badge. Organisers can send an event too, and an editor reads each one before it goes up.

Calendars we read.
Feed means the calendar is read automatically each morning. Curated means we keep the list by hand because the site does not offer one a machine can read. Submitted means an organiser sent it through the form and an editor approved it.
