Bluegrass Along the Harpeth Returns in Franklin

Attention, Franklin bluegrass lovers! Bluegrass Along the Harpeth is back for 2025 on Friday, July 25 & Saturday, July 26 in Historic Downtown Franklin. Bring your lawn chairs and listen to some of the best music around at this free and family-friendly event.

34 years running…

Always held the 4th weekend in July, Bluegrass Along the Harpeth was started in 1991 and has had several homes in Franklin over the years. Most recently, it has made its home on the town square. The historic backdrop is the perfect place for a weekend of music in honor of Franklin’s own Grand Ole Opry stars Sam and Kirk McGee.

This year…

Cutter & Cash and The Kentucky Grass

​Friday night, you can hear some of the best bluegrass bands around (Cutter & Cash and The Kentucky Grass at 7 p.m.; The Little Roy and Lizzie Show at 8:30 p.m.).

On Saturday, you will find some of the best musicians anywhere competing in individual instruments and band contests. In addition to all of the music, there are food and craft vendors that are sure to have something to satisfy a sweet tooth or offer that one-of-a-kind gift you have been wanting.
