Family Day 2026
Saturday, November 7, 2026, at The Park at Harlinsdale Farm.
- What it is
- A free farm day at The Park at Harlinsdale Farm: wagon, pony and miniature train rides, a petting zoo, a pumpkin patch and corn maze, cane-pole fishing in the pond, crafts, games, face painting and a Touch-a-Tractor, with equestrian demonstrations in the Tractor Supply Arena.
- When it runs
- Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; the equestrian demonstrations start at 11. No concert is listed for 2026; Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band played from 2023 to 2025.
- Where to park
- Park at Harlinsdale’s south and north entrances; motorcycles go along the gravel fence line, following the signs. There is no shuttle.
- What it costs
- Free, rides and activities included. Food trucks sell from 10 to 2.
- If it rains
- Rain or shine; the city will cancel for extreme weather.
- The history
- A Franklin Parks festival held on the first Saturday in November. The counts of its age disagree: a 2016 city release called that year’s the 10th, and the Williamson Herald called 2025’s the 21st.
