Daphne and the Mystery Machines will headline the musical performances at Franklin’s Main Street Festival presented by First Tennessee, coming to historic downtown Franklin April 23-24.
The up-and-coming Franklin band brings its unique alternative folk sound to the Guitar Center stage on Main Street at First Avenue on Saturday, April 23, at 7 p.m. The haunting harmonies served with a delicious serving of strings by members Daphne Culver, Jenn Palmer, Samuel Clint Damewood, Chase Arocha and Tyler Boone will delight the ears of all that hear their new sound.
Right before the performance Guitar Center will be giving away a $150 gift certificate from the Guitar Center stage. For information on how to enter the contest, visit www.Facebook.com/HistoricFranklin.

More than 25 food vendors will offer a variety of tasty options, from standard street festival fare like corn dogs and funnel cakes, to international offerings including French, Asian, and Greek cuisine. Food will be available in two food court areas, on Fourth Ave. South and Third Ave. North.
A kids’ area on Third Ave. South will feature a petting zoo, pony rides, a variety of inflatables, and more, for a small fee.
For dessert, be sure to stop by the King Arthur Flour Bake Truck near the Xfinity Stage on the Public Square. King Arthur will be collecting donations for the Heritage Foundation and its preservation efforts in Williamson County in exchange for a fresh-baked chocolate chip cookie.
Three photo ops around the Public Square will give festival goers the opportunity to capture the perfect shot.
