Holiday Movie Filmed in Franklin through July 23

Celebrate Christmas in July with a special movie filming in downtown Franklin.

With heat index coming close to 100 degrees, Christmas trees and winter coats are not what you typically see in Franklin in the middle of July.

But if you are headed downtown anytime now through July 23rd, you can catch a glimpse of the making of a Christmas movie.

“The cast and production crew of A Little Women’s Christmas are shooting this modern retelling of the classic novel for Great American Family’s ‘Great American Christmas 2024’ lineup,” the City of Franklin shared on social media. “This holiday production will continue on the sidewalks of Main Street and inside some local downtown stores through the 23rd.”

No streets will be closed at this time, the City did share pedestrians might be stopped intermittently during filming.
