Steven Curtis Chapman & Friends to Headline “A Franklin Christmas,” Presented by The Circle of Giving

The Circle of Giving invites the community to celebrate the magic of the holiday season at the inaugural “A Franklin Christmas,” presented by The Circle of Giving with Steven Curtis Chapman & Friends, on December 15^th at Liberty Hall in The Factory at Franklin. Tickets are available for purchase online via Eventbrite.

The Circle of Giving is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization formed by Holladay Properties to operate the Carousel of Dreams by Ken Means, located at The Factory at Franklin. All proceeds from carousel operations and related activities are donated to nonprofit organizations serving Williamson County. Learn more at carouselofdreams.com.

The event promises to be an unforgettable night, as Franklin’s own five-time GRAMMY-winning musician Steven Curtis Chapman brings a variation of his The Music of Christmas Tour to his hometown. In December, Chapman is taking the tour to ten select cities, adding Franklin to the mix with a special performance. Doors open at 6:15pm, and the show begins at 7pm.

“I’m excited to be performing at the first-ever “A Franklin Christmas” in my hometown,” said Franklin’s own multi-GRAMMY award-winning singer-songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman. “Nothin’ better, especially at Christmas, than getting to share the gift of music while giving back to the community that has given so much to my family and me. Being able to do what I love and help families right here in Williamson County makes this event especially meaningful.”

VIP tickets are available for $125, giving guests access to the exclusive pre-party at the Carousel of Dreams with hors d’oeuvres, beer and wine and a chance to take a photo with Steven Curtis Chapman. Second-tier seating is $75, and general admission tickets are $50.

Proceeds from the event will support The Circle of Giving’s ongoing work with four local nonprofit partners: FrankTown Open Hearts, which provides youth mentorship; Friends of Franklin Parks, benefiting Ellie G’s Dream World inclusive playground; Hard Bargain Association, supporting affordable housing; and Needs of Our Kids (N.O.O.K.), which provides student resources.

Come experience the magic of the season with friends, family, and neighbors as we gather for an unforgettable evening of holiday cheer, meaningful music, and community connection—all in support of The Circle of Giving’s mission to make a difference year-round. Guests are encouraged to reserve tickets early, as seating is limited.
