Secret Garden Walk: Saturday, June 28 - Sunday, June 29
Colorful flowers, shrubs, and other plants will soon be in full bloom in backyards all over the county. These spaces are normally concealed from the public view, but for one weekend, the community is welcome to explore the natural beauty of Franklin’s backyard gardens.
 
This summer, Franklin Heritage is hosting its Secret Garden Walk. Participating property owners have opened their backyards for you to peruse their outdoor landscapes. Locations are kept under wraps until the days of the tour, and on Saturday and Sunday, people can pick up tickets and maps at the Artcraft Theatre and wander from garden to garden at their leisure.
 
The Secret Garden Walk is your chance to be inspired to let your outdoor space bloom and recognize homeowners who have worked hard to turn their yards into works of art.

Bingo Night
Get ready to shout "BINGO!" Every month through the summer, the Artcraft is hosting a Bingo night. Enjoy bingo games with a chance to win gift cards, fun packages, and cash prizes. Tickets are only $20.00 for a six-face card/10 games, plus a bonus game. Tickets can only be purchased in advance at the theatre box office, during show times, or at the door the night of the event.
