What it is: A drive-through light show at the Ag Expo Park: about a mile and a half of more than 200 displays set to music on your car radio, with a lit tree, fire pits and a food truck at the end. The money goes to FrankTown Open Hearts, a Franklin nonprofit for young people at risk.
When it runs: Every night from November 20 to December 31, 5 to 9 p.m. On Walkin’ Wednesdays (November 25 and December 2, 9 and 16) the route is for walkers from 5 to 6:30 and opens to cars at 7. Santa is there every night through December 24.
Where to park: You stay in your car; on Walkin’ Wednesdays you park and walk the route. The Ag Expo Park is at 4215 Long Lane.
What it costs: Tickets are per vehicle, good for any night and not refunded. Before fees on October 21: $35 for a car of up to eight ($28 early bird), $60 for 9 to 15 people, $100 for a van, bus or limo, $150 for four visits and $250 for ten. Santa photos are free; the food truck’s hot chocolate and s’mores kits cost extra.
With children: All ages, with free photos with Santa every night through December 24. Leashed dogs are welcome on Walkin’ Wednesdays.
If it rains: Open rain or shine; weather closures are posted on the festival’s Instagram, @franktownfestivaloflights.
The history: FrankTown Open Hearts opened the show in 2018 at the Ag Center, at $25 a car, on a board member’s idea, and kept it running in 2020 because visitors stayed in their cars. The organizer bills 2026’s as the 9th.
