FRANKLIN, Tenn. – Valentine’s Day glimmers on the horizon and Franklin wants to help you share the love. Love, Americana Style is a five-day celebration that will take place February 10-14, 2016 to commemorate Valentine’s Day, from break-up to make-up and everything in between.
Whether it’s a candlelight dinner and live Jazz with a romantic stroll beneath the twinkling lights of Main Street or rejoicing in the single life with happy hour and singer/songwriters live on stage, there is something for everyone during this holiday of love. The experience can also be shared with friends and family on social media through the hashtag #AmericanaLove and individual hashtags for each day.
Wednesday, February 10, is Galentine’s Day and all about the ladies. Gather your girlfriends for a night out including 2-for-1 admission for ladies and special Galentine’s drink promotions at Music City Roots, followed by the “Music City Roots After Party” at Kimbros Café.
