Support the Lights

The beautiful lights are a favorite for everyone who visits Downtown Franklin during the holidays. We need your support to keep them shining bright. We offer an opportunity to make an online donation through our partner, the Johnson County Community Foundation.

Sponsor a Lighted Tree

This year's deadline has passed, but think about keeping Downtown Franklin bright by sponsoring a lighted tree in 2025. All proceeds go toward paying for the downtown lights.
