August 22, 2026 | The Park at Harlinsdale Farm

You’re invited to the 15th Annual Raise the Roofs, a celebration supporting the parks and green spaces we all love in Franklin.

Hosted by Friends of Franklin Parks at the beautiful The Park at Harlinsdale Farm, this beloved community event brings together friends, local leaders and businesses for a memorable night under the stars.

Guests will enjoy live music, delicious food and drinks, and a lively atmosphere while celebrating the impact parks have on our community. For fifteen years, Raise the Roofs has helped fund meaningful projects that enhance Franklin’s parks, trails and historic landscapes. Proceeds from this year’s event will continue to support initiatives that make our parks more accessible, welcoming and vibrant for everyone.

Whether you are a longtime supporter or joining us for the first time, Raise the Roofs is a chance to gather with friends, celebrate our shared spaces and invest in the future of Franklin’s parks.

Join us for an unforgettable evening at Harlinsdale Farm as we raise our glasses and Raise the Roofs for our wonderful parks.

Meet the Co-Chairs

Friends of Franklin Parks’ highly anticipated Raise the Roofs event will return on Saturday, August 22, at The Park at Harlinsdale Farm, marking a major milestone as the organization celebrates its 15th anniversary.

This year’s event, led by chairs Amanda and Jeff Foster and April and Eric Jackson, is especially fitting as the 15th annual fundraiser also takes place during the Year of the Horse, a nod to Harlinsdale Farm’s enduring place in Franklin’s history.

“The 15th anniversary is the perfect time to celebrate the spirit of Harlinsdale Farm while honoring all that Friends of Franklin Parks has accomplished through the years,” said the event chairs. “We hope to create an evening that brings together both new and longtime friends, making memories much like those created every day across the parks, trails, and open spaces they so thoughtfully steward.”

“As we celebrate 15 years of Friends of Franklin Parks, Raise the Roofs is a meaningful opportunity to reflect on how far we’ve come and the impact this community has made together,” said Torrey Barnhill, Executive Director of Friends of Franklin Parks. “From transformative projects at Harlinsdale Farm to expanding trails and preserving open space, this event represents the heart of our mission and the people who make it possible.”

Friends of Franklin Parks is honored to welcome back Medical House Calls as this year’s Presenting Sponsor. A trusted leader in concierge healthcare, Medical House Calls delivers compassionate, on demand urgent care directly to patients’ homes, offering an exceptional level of service that prioritizes comfort, convenience, and peace of mind. Their continued support reflects a shared commitment to strengthening and caring for the Middle Tennessee community.

The main event will take place on Saturday, August 22, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. under the big tent on the lawn at Harlinsdale Farm. Guests can expect an evening of exceptional food, drinks, live music, and celebration, followed by an after party beginning at 9 p.m.
