Save the Date for the Bethlehem UMC Fish Fry

Fish Fry Bethlehem United Methodist

Bluegrass and swing band music, fresh, farm-raised catfish and free children’s game area are all part of the Grassland community’s largest annual event, the Bethlehem United Methodist Church Fish Fry, on Friday, July 15 on the shaded church grounds at 2419 Bethlehem Loop Road in Franklin off Hillsboro Road.

In its 42nd year, BUMC minister Ryan Bennett said the Bethlehem Fish Fry is a good old-fashioned social with great food helping support church missions.

“With never frozen before, all-you-can-eat farm raised catfish, we have amazing music, a free Family Fun Zone with incredible inflatables and games, the best bake sale around and silent auction. You don’t want to miss the area’s biggest event for fun and fellowship. We are expecting around 3,500 of our neighbors with the proceeds helping to support several church missions including our Tiny House Project helping area homeless and Kathy’s Backpacks program assisting over 500 school children across our county with much needed fall school supplies and backpacks,” Bennett said.

In addition to the Bethlehem Bluegrass Band, the popular big band, 5 Points Swing, will be playing on the main stage and Pied Piper Creamery returns again with their delicious ice cream.

Over 1,800 pounds of pond-raised catfish will be served at the fish fry along with hushpuppies, sliced tomatoes, white beans and delicious cole slaw made from a secret church recipe. The incredible silent auction includes beautiful artwork, home décor, themed gift baskets and more.

There will be a full service disabled and elderly area this year. Disabled and elderly family members will be able to enjoy full service staff that will cater to them while they enjoy the entertainment.

Don’t miss the Bethlehem UMC Fish Fry Friday, July 15 on the shaded grounds of the church off Old Hillsboro Road in the Grassland Area from 4:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., 2419 Bethlehem Loop Road, Franklin (37069).
